This patch adds "-x" and "-x -x" options to disable XSDT for acpidump.
The single "-x" can be used to stop using XSDT, RSDT will be forced to find
static tables, note that XSDT will still be dumped. The double "-x" can
stop dumping XSDT, which is useful when the XSDT address reported by RSDP
is pointing to an invalid address.
It is reported there are platforms having broken XSDT shipped, acpidump
will stop working while accessing such XSDT. This patch adds new option so
that users can force acpidump to dump tables listed in the RSDT. Lv Zheng.

This patch enforces a rule to always use ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG for RSDP
signatures passed from table header or ACPI_SIG_RSDP so that truncated
string comparison can be avoided. This could help to fix the issue that
"RSD " matches but "RSD PTR " doesn't match. Lv Zheng.

This patch fixes an issue that the while loop is not needed as fread()
should return exact the bytes of expected.
The patch is tested by runing diff against the output of "-c" mode and
the normal mode, and only finds the following differences:
1. table addresses: the "-c" mode will always fill 0x0000000000000000 for
the address.
2. RSDP/RSDT/XSDT: there is no generation of such tables for "-c" mode.
So the test result shows the fix is valid. Lv Zheng.
