platform/x86: Battery charge mode in toshiba_acpi (internals)

This commit adds the internal functions to control the Toshiba laptop.

Unlike for example ThinkPads where this control is granular here it is
just off/on. When off it charges to 100%. When on it charges to about 80%.

Controlling this setting is done via HCI register 0x00ba. Setting to value
1 will result in limiting the charing to 80% of the battery capacity,
while setting it to 0 will allow charging to 100%.

Reading the current state is a bit weird, and needs a 1 set in the last
position of the query for whatever reason. In addition, the read may
return 0x8d20 (Data not available) rarely, so a retry mechanism is needed.

According to the Windows program used to control the feature the setting
will not take effect until the battery has been discharged to around 50%.
However, in my testing it takes effect as soon as the charge drops below
80%. On Windows Toshiba branded this feature as "Eco charging".
