platform/x86: wmi: Probe data objects for read and write capabilities

The Dell XPS 13 9350 has one RW data object, one RO data object, and one
totally inaccessible data object. Check for the existence of the
accessor methods and report in sysfs.

The docs also permit WQxx getters for single-instance objects to
take no parameters. Probe for that as well to avoid ACPICA warnings
about mismatched signatures.
