[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 6/6] DO NOT MERGE: add enable_guc_loading parameter

Split the function of "enable_guc_submission" into two separate options.
The new one "enable_guc_loading" controls only the *fetching and loading*
of the GuC firmware image. The existing one is redefined to control only
the *use* of the GuC for batch submission once the firmware is loaded.

In addition, the degree of control has been refined from a simple bool
to an integer key, allowing several options:
 -1  (default)    whatever the platform default is
  0  DISABLE      don't load/use the GuC
  1  BEST EFFORT  try to load/use the GuC, fallback if not available
  2  REQUIRE      must load/use the GuC, else leave the GPU wedged

The new platform default (as coded here) will be to attempt to load
the GuC iff the device has a GuC that requires firmware, to attempt to
use it iff the device has a GuC that supports the submission protocol
(with or without firmware), and to fall back to execlist mode if any
required firmware cannot be found or fails to load.
