thermal: Added Bang-bang thermal governor
The bang-bang thermal governor uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on
or off a cooling device. It is intended to control fans, which can
not be throttled but just switched on or off.
Bang-bang cannot be set as default governor as it is intended for
special devices only. For those special devices the driver needs to
explicitely request it.

+ Enable this to manage platform thermals using bang bang governor.

+ Say 'Y' here if you want to use two point temperature regulation
+ used for fans without throttling. Some fan drivers depend on this
+ governor to be enabled (e.g. acerhdf).
