power: supply: Add battery driver for Surface Aggregator Module

On newer Microsoft Surface models (specifically 7th-generation, i.e.
Surface Pro 7, Surface Book 3, Surface Laptop 3, and Surface Laptop Go),
battery and AC status/information is no longer handled via standard ACPI
devices, but instead directly via the Surface System Aggregator Module
(SSAM), i.e. the embedded controller on those devices.

While on previous generation models, battery status is also handled via
SSAM, an ACPI shim was present to translate the standard ACPI battery
interface to SSAM requests. The SSAM interface itself, which is modeled
closely after the ACPI interface, has not changed.

This commit introduces a new SSAM client device driver to support
battery status/information via the aforementioned interface on said
Surface models. It is in parts based on the standard ACPI battery
driver.

Driver for battery devices connected via/managed by the Surface System
Aggregator Module (SSAM).
This driver provides battery-information and -status support for
Surface devices where said data is not exposed via the standard ACPI
devices. On those models (7th-generation), battery-information is
instead handled directly via SSAM client devices and this driver.
Say M or Y here to include battery status support for 7th-generation
