uartlite: Adding a kernel parameter for the number of uartlites

The number of uartlites should be set by a kernel parameter instead of
using a #define. This allows the user to set the number of uartlites
using only kconfig and not modifying kernel source.

The uartlite is used by FPGAs that support a basically unlimited number
of uarts so limiting it at 16 dosn't make sense as users might need more
than that.

Set this to the number of uartlites in your system, or the number
you think you might implement.
