ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to fan subdriver

Export sysfs attributes to monitor and control the internal thinkpad fan
(some thinkpads have more than one fan, but thinkpad-acpi doesn't support
the second fan yet).  The sysfs interface follows the hwmon design guide
for fan devices.

Also, fix some stray "thermal" files in the fan procfs description that
have been there forever, and officially support "full-speed" as the name
for the PWM-disabled state of the fan controller to keep it in line with
the hwmon interface.  It is much better a name for that mode than the
unobvious "disengaged" anyway.  Change the procfs interface to also accept
full-speed as a fan level, but still report it as disengaged for backwards
compatibility.

 The fan level can be controlled with the command:

+	echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

+	scale of 0-255.  0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal

+

+
+hwmon device attribute fan1_input:

+	ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode,

+driver attribute fan_watchdog:

+	1 second, maximum is 120 seconds.  0 disables the watchdog.
+
+To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1.

+To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2.  If that fails
