ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve thinkpad detection

Browse source 
Improve the detection of ThinkPads, so as to reduce the chances of false
positives.

Since this could potentially add false negatives on the very old models,
add a module parameter to force the detection of a thinkpad.

Force loading of module
-----------------------
If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify
the module parameter force_load=1. Regardless of whether this works or
not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report.
