ALSA: hda - Add position_fix=4 (COMBO) option

This patch adds a new position_fix option value, 4, as a combo mode
to use LPIB for playbacks and POSBUF for captures.  It's the way
recommended by Intel hardware guys.

position_fix=3 is specific to VIA devices. The position
of the capture stream is checked from both LPIB and POSBUF
values. position_fix=4 is a combination mode, using LPIB
for playback and POSBUF for capture.

`position_fix=1` means to use LPIB method explicitly.
`position_fix=2` means to use the position-buffer.
`position_fix=3` means to use a combination of both methods, needed
for some VIA and ATI controllers. 0 is the default value for all other
for some VIA controllers. The capture stream position is corrected
by comparing both LPIB and position-buffer values.
`position_fix=4` is another combination available for all controllers,
and uses LPIB for the playback and the position-buffer for the capture
streams.
0 is the default value for all other
controllers, the automatic check and fallback to LPIB as described in
the above. If you get a problem of repeated sounds, this option might
help.
