platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"

Prefix platform modalias strings with "platform:", which
modprobe config to blacklist alias resolving if userspace
configures it.

Send uevents for all platform devices.

Add MODULE_ALIAS's to: pxa2xx_pcmcia, ds1742 and pcspkr to trigger
module autoloading by userspace.

  $ modinfo pcspkr

  $ modprobe -n -v platform:pcspkr
