ALSA: hda-intel - add special 'hwio' model to bypass initialization

Using the 'model=hwio' option, the driver bypasses any codec
initialization and the reset procedure for codecs is also
bypassed. This mode is usefull to enable direct access using
hwdep interface (using hdaverb or hda-analyzer tools) and
retain codec setup from BIOS.
