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.

Fixes: dc56ecb8 ("serial: 8250: Support disabling mdelay-filled probes of 16550A variants")
