atrtc(4): install ACPI RTC/CMOS operation region handler

FreeBSD base system does not provide an ACPI handler for the PC/AT RTC/CMOS
device with PnP ID PNP0B00; on some HP laptops, the absence of this handler
causes suspend/resume and poweroff(8) to hang or fail [1], [2]. On these
laptops EC _REG method queries the RTC date/time registers via ACPI
before suspending/powering off. The handler should be registered before
acpi_ec driver is loaded.

This change adds handler to access CMOS RTC operation region described in
section 9.15 of ACPI-6.2 specification [3]. It is installed only for ACPI
version of atrtc(4) so it should not affect old ACPI-less i386 systems.

It is possible to disable the handler with loader tunable:
debug.acpi.disabled=atrtc

Informational debugging printf can be enabled by setting hw.acpi.verbose=1
in loader.conf
