This updates the FADT generated for x86/64 machine types from Revision 1 to 3. (Based on ACPI standard 2.0 instead of 1.0) The intention is to expose the reset register information to guest operating systems which require it, specifically OS X/macOS. Revision 1 FADTs do not contain the fields relating to the reset register.
The new layout and contents remains backwards-compatible with operating systems which only support ACPI 1.0, as the existing fields are not modified by this change, as the 64-bit and 32-bit variants are allowed to co-exist according to the ACPI 2.0 standard. No regressions became apparent in tests with a range of Windows (XP-10) and Linux versions.
The BIOS tables test suite's FADT checksum test has also been updated to reflect the new FADT layout and content.

There's no reason to pack structures where we don't care about size or
padding, this applies to AcpiStdTable in tests/acpi-utils.h.
OTOH bios-tables-test happens to be passing the address of a field in
this struct to a function that expects a pointer to normally aligned
data which results in a SIGBUS on architectures like SPARC that have
strict alignment requirements.
