ALSA: snd-pcsp: add nopcm mode

Currently, if the high-res timers are unavailable, snd-pcsp does not
initialize. People who choose it over pcspkr, loose their console beeps
in that case and get annoyed.
With this patch, the console beeps remain regardless of the high-res
timers. Additionally, the "nopcm" modparam is added to forcibly
disable the PCM capabilities of the driver.
