[PATCH] hw/char/pl011: Enable TxFIFO and async transmission

[Gavin Shan]

The depth of TxFIFO can be 1 or 16 depending on LCR[4]. The TxFIFO is
disabled when its depth is 1. It's nice to have TxFIFO enabled if
possible because more characters can be piled and transmitted at once,
which would have less overhead. Besides, we can be blocked because of
qemu_chr_fe_write_all(), which isn't nice.

This enables TxFIFO if possible. On ther other hand, the asynchronous
transmission is enabled if needed, as we did in hw/char/cadence_uart.c
