misc: add HP WMI laptop extras driver

This driver adds support for reading and configuring certain information on modern HP laptops with WMI BIOS interfaces. It supports enabling and disabling the ambient light sensor, querying attached displays and hard drive temperature, sending events on docking and querying the state of the dock and toggling the state of the wifi, bluetooth and wwan hardware via rfkill. It also makes the little "(i)" button work on machines that send that via WMI rather than via the keyboard controller.
