[PATCH v2 2/4] vgaarb: allow non-legacy cards to be marked as default

The VGA arbiter currently only selects a card as default if it can
decode legacy I/O and memory ranges.

However, on some architectures, legacy PCI resources are not used.
This has lead to a powerpc quirk, and issues on arm64.

Allow architectures to select ARCH_WANT_VGA_ARB_FALLBACK.
When that symbol is selected, add a PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_ENABLE hook,
which will mark the first card that is enabled and that can control
I/O and memory as the default card.

Behaviour is unchanged unless arches opt-in by selecting the
Kconfig option.
