ACPICA: Add Buffer->String conversion for predefined methods
For predefined methods (such as _BIF), add automatic conversion for objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer was found instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from an operation region, because it used to be difficult to convert the data from buffer to string from within the ASL.
