acpi: Be more ACPI compliant when generating _UID

Browse Source 
* Add function to generate unique _UID using CRC32
* Add function to write the _UID based on a device's ACPI path

ACPI devices that have the same _HID must use different _UID.
Linux doesn't care about _UID if it's not used.
Windows 10 verifies the ACPI code on boot and BSODs if two devices
with the same _HID share the same _UID.

Fixes BSOD seen on Windows 10.

# ACPI SSDT \_UID generation
According to the ACPI spec:
> The _UID must be unique across all devices with either a common _HID or _CID.
When generating SSDTs in coreboot the independent drivers don't know
which \_UID is already in use for a specific \_HID or \_CID. To generate
unique \_UIDs the ACPI device's path is hashed and used as ID. As every ACPI
device has a different path, the hash will be also different for every device.
Windows 10 verifies all devices with the same \_HID or \_CID and makes
sure that no \_UID is duplicated. If it is it'll BSOD.
