libata: Handle drives that require a spin-up command before first access

(S)ATA drives can be configured for "power-up in standby",
a mode whereby a specific "spin up now!" command is required
before the first media access.

Currently, a drive with this feature enabled can not be used at all
with libata, and once in this mode, the drive becomes a doorstop.

The older drivers/ide subsystem at least enumerates the drive,
so that it can be woken up after the fact from a userspace HDIO_*
command, but not libata.

This patch adds support to libata for the "power-up in standby"
mode where a "spin up now!" command (SET_FEATURES) is needed.
With this, libata will recognize such drives, spin them up,
and then re-IDENTIFY them if necessary to get a full/complete
set of drive features data.

Drives in this state are determined by looking for
special values in id[2], as documented in the current ATA specs.
