power: supply: Add AC driver for Surface Aggregator Module

Browse source 
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, AC status is also handled via SSAM,
an ACPI shim was present to translate the standard ACPI AC 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 AC
status/information via the aforementioned interface on said Surface
models.
