ACPI: parse SPCR and enable matching console

'ARM Server Base Boot Requiremets' [1] mentions SPCR (Serial Port
Console Redirection Table) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that
specifies the configuration of serial console.

Defer initialization of DT earlycon until ACPI/DT decision is made.

Parse the ACPI SPCR table, setup earlycon if required,
enable specified console.

Thanks to Peter Hurley for explaining how this should work.
