Without the original files it's hard to see what changed "upstream", and what
entries were added and removed. Upstream did not keep the entries sorted, and
our processing scripts did not sort the output either, so from just looking at
diffs it's hard to say what changed. So let's keep the original data, at least
for a few update cycles, so get a better handle on the upstream changes.
It's a few hundred kilobytes, so not that big, and text, so it should
compresses well.
Let's hook up the ACPI database we maintain from the upstream UEFI sources.
This adds a tool to convert the database provided upstream to our native
format, similar to how this is handled for the PCI and USB databases.
Note that the upstream web site claims to offer an XLS download, but the actual
data made available is an HTML file in reality, just one with the ".xls"
suffix...
The data provided from the UEFI folks is not very high quality nor complete,
hence apply a patch after the conversion step that fixes up a few things and
adds in more entries from various sources. For example, the EDID ids maintained
by GNOME and other sources have been added too, as they all appear to use the
same ID namespace.
This also adds explicit support for 4 character ACPI ids, in addition to the
normal 3 character PNP ids.
Also fixes:

The individual address block is a poor man's organizationally unique
identifier.
Perhaps we should change the udev key from ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE to
something like ID_IEEE_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE?
