hwmon: (pmbus) Clear generic status alarms with CLEAR_FAULTS

Some hwmon alarms fall back to STATUS_WORD summary bits when no
individual limit alarm is available. On PMBus 1.2 and newer devices,
pmbus_get_boolean() acknowledges these alarms with the same byte-data
write used for detailed status registers. For example, PB_STATUS_INPUT
is 0x2000, so it is truncated to zero when passed to
_pmbus_write_byte_data(). The resulting write cannot acknowledge the
input alarm.

PMBus 1.3 Part II, sections 10.2.4 and 10.2.5, excludes ordinary
STATUS_BYTE and STATUS_WORD summary bits from individual clearing.
Their summary bits clear when the underlying status bits clear, so
changing this to a word-data write would not fix the generic input
alarm either.

Use the existing page CLEAR_FAULTS path for generic STATUS_WORD
alarms, including devices whose status accessor uses STATUS_BYTE.
Keep individual byte writes for detailed status registers on PMBus
1.2 and newer devices. As with the existing older-device fallback,
CLEAR_FAULTS can clear other latched status; an active condition can
reassert its status.
