ACPICA: Add function to dereference returned reference objects

Browse source 
Examines the return object from a call to acpi_evaluate_object.
Any Index or RefOf references are automatically dereferenced in
an attempt to return something useful (these reference types
cannot be converted into an external ACPI_OBJECT.)

*
* Performs an automatic dereference of Index and ref_of reference objects.
* These reference objects are not supported by the union acpi_object, so this is a
* last resort effort to return something useful. Also, provides compatibility
* with other ACPI implementations.
*
* NOTE: does not handle references within returned package objects or nested
* references, but this support could be added later if found to be necessary.
