feat: Power-off fix for the Steam Machine; the kernel pin is optional

Kernels >= 7.2 keep the firmware's S4/S5 wake bit on GPIO pin 18, so the
Steam Machine starts again right after powering off. Steam Machine
support now builds a DKMS module (patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c)
that clears it before power-off, for every kernel. The kernel pin is no
longer ticked by default. Module sources and patches move to patches/,
embedded by the single-file build.

# Part of "Steam Machine support": the Steam Machine powers off instead of
# booting up again, on every kernel. Since Linux 7.2 ("pinctrl-amd: Don't
# clear S4 wake bits at probe") the S4/S5 wake bit the firmware leaves set
# on GPIO pin 18 stays set, and the machine starts again right after
# powering off (the reason for the kernel pin). Valve's kernel clears it at
# probe on Fremont, in a patch not meant for upstream, so CachyOS won't get
# it. A small module (patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c) clears it right
# before power-off; DKMS builds it for every kernel. On kernels that clear it themselves it does nothing.
# Sourced by steamify.sh; not meant to be run on its own.
