[PATCH 3/3 v2] Documentation/arm64: Update ACPI tables from BBR

Tue Jun 6 02:35:28 PDT 2023
The BBR specification requires (or conditionally requires) a set of ACPI
tables for a proper working system.
This commit updates:
- the list of ACPI tables to reflect the contents of
BBR version 2.0 (see https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0044/g).
- the list of ACPI tables in acpi_object_usage. This last update ensures
that both files remain coherent.
