fw_cfg: expose control register size in fw_cfg.h

Expose the size of the control register (FW_CFG_CTL_SIZE) in fw_cfg.h.
Add comment to fw_cfg_io_realize() pointing out that since the
8-bit data register is always subsumed by the 16-bit control
register in the port I/O case, we use the control register width
as the *total* width of the (classic, non-DMA) port I/O region reserved
for the device.
