platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Add ThinkPad PrivacyGuard
This feature is found optionally in T480s, T490, T490s.
The feature is called lcdshadow and visible via
/proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow.
The ACPI methods \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC.HKEY.{GSSS,SSSS,TSSS,CSSS} are
available in these machines. They get, set, toggle or change the state
apparently.
The patch was tested on a 5.0 series kernel on a T480s.
