Subject: e820, efi: add ACPI 6.0 persistent memory types

ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory.
Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory
device driver.

This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12
definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with
NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as
OEM reserved).

Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy
"Persistent Memory (legacy)" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent Memory"
E820_PMEM.
