ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: make EC-based thermal readings non-experimental 

Reading the 16 thermal sensors directly from the EC has been stable for
about one year, in all supported ThinkPad models.  Remove its
"experimental" label.

Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but
only expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods.
This feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older
ThinkPads, and it has experimental support for up to sixteen different
sensors on newer ThinkPads.
EXPERIMENTAL: The 16-sensors feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the
implementation directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as
expected. USE WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. When EXPERIMENTAL
mode is enabled, reading the first 8 sensors on newer ThinkPads will
also use an new experimental thermal sensor access mode.

For example, on the X40, a typical output may be:
temperatures: 42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128
EXPERIMENTAL: On the T43/p, a typical output may be:
