hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Improve raw WMI string handling

Browse source

Commit c9ba592580 ("hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Fix failure to load on
EliteDesk 800 G6") left out some logic for recognizing raw WMI
strings in check_numeric_sensor_wobj(). This issue was reported by a
user along with an incomplete and unsuitable proposed solution [1].

Add the missing logic and properly remedy the issue. Also slightly
refactor how raw WMI strings are recognized elsewhere to make the
intent that they should be treated as regular ACPI strings clearer.
