handled properly.

platform/x86: wmi: Add documentation

Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes
both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with
the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface
was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver
samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help
driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed
to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.
