ahci: add AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE host flag
The following commit was intended to fix problems with specific AHCI controller(s) that would become bricks if the AHCI specification was not followed strictly (that is, if ahci_start_engine() was called while the controller was in the wrong state): commit 7faa33da ahci: start engine only during soft/hard resets However, some devices currently have issues with that fix, so we must implement a flag that delays the ahci_start_engine() call only for specific controllers. This commit simply introduces the flag, without enabling it in any driver. Note that even when AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE is not enabled, this patch does not constitue a full revert to commit 7faa33da; there is still a change in behavior to the ahci_port_suspend() failure path.
