[PATCH v6 2/8] serial: 8250: share the RX trigger conversion helper

Drivers can supply receive-trigger thresholds through the RX trigger
callbacks without adding a legacy port type to uart_config[]. Extract the
threshold search into serial8250_bytes_to_fcr() so those drivers can use
the same conversion as the generic 8250 implementation.

Keep the implementation in 8250_port.c and export it in the SERIAL_8250
namespace. Include the unsupported-table check and preserve the existing
nearest-lower selection and highest-encoding fallback.
