ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control

It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes.  Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.

Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both.  By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.
