platform/x86: apple-gmux: Add apple_gmux_detect() helper

Add a new (static inline) apple_gmux_detect() helper to apple-gmux.h
which can be used for gmux detection instead of apple_gmux_present().

The latter is not really reliable since an ACPI device with a HID
of APP000B is present on some devices without a gmux at all, as well
as on devices with a newer (unsupported) MMIO based gmux model.

This causes apple_gmux_present() to return false-positives on
a number of different Apple laptop models.

This new helper uses the same probing as the actual apple-gmux
driver, so that it does not return false positives.

To avoid code duplication the gmux_probe() function of the actual
driver is also moved over to using the new apple_gmux_detect() helper.

This avoids false positives (vs _HID + IO region detection) on:
