serial: 8250: Let drivers request full 16550A feature probing
A SERIAL_8250_16550A_VARIANTS configuration option has been recently defined that lets one request the 8250 driver not to probe for 16550A device features so as to reduce the driver's device startup time in virtual machines. Some actual hardware devices require these features to have been fully determined however for their driver to work correctly, so define a flag to let drivers request full 16550A feature probing on a device-by-device basis if required regardless of the SERIAL_8250_16550A_VARIANTS option setting chosen.
