serial: 8250_pci: Intel MID UART support to its own driver



Intel MID UART quirks require already quite a bit of code
in 8250_pci.c. On new Intel platforms where it is used, the
integrated DMA engine no longer has its own PCI device, but
is instead configured from the UART's MMIO. That means we
will have to add even more code for handling just MID UARTs.

Instead of adding that to 8250_pci.c, splitting the support
of Intel MID UART into its own driver. Handling of the
integrated DMA engine becomes much simpler this way. Own
driver will also remove the need for things like specific
set_termios hooks for every board using this UART, and
simplify the handling of it in general.
