libpci: use "brute force" scan for devices

[abrandnewusername]

To handle cases where PCI or PCIe buses are not accessible via
a bridge from bus 0, We use "brute force" scan instead of recursive
scan here. Details of these methods can be found on
https://wiki.osdev.org/PCI#.22Brute_Force.22_Scan.

This is not the ideal solution, but a workaround for this issue: #131

Would it be possible to implement this alternate scanning approach as a separate function to maintain the existing functionality for clients that already depend on it?

The existing functionality is just an optimisation to avoid scanning everything. The new code brute-force scans every possible bus, and will pick up any that have been configured by the BIOS.

The existing code is wrong when:
--- some buses are not attached via bridges but have a separate root complex
--- the BIOS doesn't enable the bus (the new code won't work for this case either)
--- where there is more than one PCI domain.

Is the brute force approach noticeably slower to execute?

Not that I can tell with a single PCI domain (and we don't deal with more than a single PCI domain at the moment).
Of course, to do it properly, you'd parse the DSDT and use the full 4k config space for each device.

Looks good to me now.
