x86/pci-dma: remove the explicit nodac and allowdac option
This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled for the last 15 years. Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild to override the too generic VIA quirk.
