acpi: Add an acpi command
It is useful to dump ACPI tables in U-Boot to see what has been generated. Add a command to handle this. To allow the command to find the tables, add a position into the global data. Support subcommands to list and dump the tables. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Wolfgang Wallner <wolfgang.wallner@br-automation.com>

+ List and dump ACPI tables. ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
+ Interface) is used mostly on x86 for providing information to the
+ Operating System about devices in the system. The tables are set up
+ by the firmware, typically U-Boot but possibly an earlier firmware
+ module, if U-Boot is chain-loaded from something else. ACPI tables
+ can also include code, to perform hardware-specific tasks required
+ by the Operating Systems. This allows some amount of separation
+ between the firmware and OS, and is particularly useful when you
+ want to make hardware changes without the OS needing to be adjusted.
