platform/surface: aggregator: Improve documentation and handling of message target and source IDs

The `tid_in` and `tid_out` fields of the serial hub protocol command
struct (struct ssh_command) are actually source and target IDs,
indicating the peer from which the message originated and the peer for
which it is intended.

Change the naming of those fields accordingly and improve the protocol
documentation. Additionally, introduce an enum containing all currently
known peers, i.e. targets and sources.

platform/surface: aggregator: Reserve more event- and target-categories

With the introduction of the Surface Laptop Studio, more event- and

reserved events and extend the enum of know target categories to
accommodate this.

platform/surface: aggregator: Add comment for KIP subsystem category

The KIP subsystem (full name unknown, abbreviation has been obtained
through reverse engineering) handles detachable peripherals such as the
keyboard cover on the Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 8.

It is currently not entirely clear what this subsystem entails, but at
the very least it provides event notifications for when the keyboard
cover on the Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 8 have been detached or
re-attached, as well as the state that the keyboard cover is currently
in (e.g. folded-back, folded laptop-like, closed, etc.).

platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator subsystem

Add Surface System Aggregator Module core and Surface Serial Hub driver,
required for the embedded controller found on Microsoft Surface devices.

The Surface System Aggregator Module (SSAM, SAM or Surface Aggregator)
is an embedded controller (EC) found on 4th and later generation
Microsoft Surface devices, with the exception of the Surface Go series.
This EC provides various functionality, depending on the device in
question. This can include battery status and thermal reporting (5th and
later generations), but also HID keyboard (6th+) and touchpad input
(7th+) on Surface Laptop and Surface Book 3 series devices.

This patch provides the basic necessities for communication with the SAM
EC on 5th and later generation devices. On these devices, the EC
provides an interface that acts as serial device, called the Surface
Serial Hub (SSH). 4th generation devices, on which the EC interface is
provided via an HID-over-I2C device, are not supported by this patch.

Specifically, this patch adds a driver for the SSH device (device HID
MSHW0084 in ACPI), as well as a controller structure and associated API.
This represents the functional core of the Surface Aggregator kernel
subsystem, introduced with this patch, and will be expanded upon in
subsequent commits.

The SSH driver acts as the main attachment point for this subsystem and
sets-up and manages the controller structure. The controller in turn
provides a basic communication interface, allowing to send requests from
host to EC and receiving the corresponding responses, as well as
managing and receiving events, sent from EC to host. It is structured
into multiple layers, with the top layer presenting the API used by
other kernel drivers and the lower layers modeled after the serial
protocol used for communication.

Said other drivers are then responsible for providing the (Surface model
specific) functionality accessible through the EC (e.g. battery status
reporting, thermal information, ...) via said controller structure and
API, and will be added in future commits.
