ACPI: TAD: Add alarm support to the RTC class device interface

Add alarm support, based on Section 9.17 of ACPI 6.6 [1], to the RTC
class device interface of the driver.

The ACPI time and alarm device (TAD) can support two separate alarm
timers, one for waking up the system when it is on AC power, and one
for waking it up when it is on DC power.  In principle, each of them
can be set to a different value representing the number of seconds
till the given alarm timer expires.

However, the RTC class device can only set one alarm, so it will set
both the alarm timers of the ACPI TAD (if the DC one is supported) to
the same value.  That is somewhat cumbersome because there is no way in
the ACPI TAD firmware interface to set both timers in one go, so they
need to be set sequentially, but that's how it goes.

On the alarm read side, the driver assumes that both timers have been
set to the same value, so it is sufficient to access one of them (the
AC one specifically).
