ca0132: add generic parser fallback for broken DSP path

ca0132: add generic parser fallback for broken DSP path

[eziogale]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 570 bytes --]

Some CA0132 implementations (e.g. Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1)
produce white noise when using the DSP firmware path. Add a
QUIRK_GENERIC path that uses the standard HDA generic parser
instead, with custom pin configs that disable the broken auto-mute
from HP jack detection.

Also applies VREF_50 on the mic pin and adds an init_hook for
suspend/resume stability.

Kernel version: 6.18.24
The PCI SSID this was tested on: `1458:a046`
it's been tested with PulseAudio and speaker-test
That the DSP path (QUIRK_SBZ) remains unchanged for cards that work with it.

Thanks
