Repair mechanism was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only
unconditionally emitted if the return object cannot be repaired.
Existing messages for successful repairs were converted to
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now. ACPICA BZ 827.

This change enhances the automatic repairs/conversions for
predefined name return values to make Integers, Strings, and
Buffers fully interchangeable. Also, a Buffer can be converted
to a Package of Integers if necessary. The nsrepair.c module was
completely restructured.

Since the object was successfully repaired, a Warning is too
severe. Reduced to Info for now. We may eventually change these
messages to debug-only. ACPICA BZ 812.

_MAT can inadvertently return an Integer instead of a Buffer
if the return value has been read from a Field whose width is
less than or equal to the global integer width (32 or 64 bits).

Add a repair for the "Oem Information" field which is often
mistakenly returned as an integer. It should always be a string.

Fixes a problem where a predefined method is defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the length is one,
the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrapping
a new package object around the existing package. ACPICA BZ 790.
