Instead of port and endpoint properties for representing ports and
endpoints, use the keys of the hierarchical data extension references
when referring to the port and endpoint nodes. Additionally, use "reg"
properties as in Device Tree to specify the number of the port or the
endpoint.
The keys of the port nodes begin with "port" and the keys of the endpoint
nodes begin with "endpoint", both followed by "@" character and the number
of the port or the endpoint.
These changes have the advantage that no ACPI specific properties need to
be added to refer to non-device nodes. Additionally, using the name of the
node instead of an integer property inside the node is easier to parse in
code and easier for humans to understand.

As part of the hierarchical data extension key naming, introduce numbering
scheme for the nodes that may be referred to using hierarchical data
extension references. This allows iterating over particular kind of nodes
recognised by the node name whilst allowing numbering the nodes, bringing
ACPI to feature parity with DT in this respect.

Add documentation on how to refer to hierarchical data nodes in a
generic way. This brings ACPI to feature parity with Device Tree in
terms of being able to refer to any node in the tree.
