Add PCI_VENDOR_ID_ASPEED to the shared pci_ids.h header and remove the
duplicate local definition from ehci-pci.c.

This prepares for adding a PCI quirk for ASPEED devices.

ASPEED BMC controllers have VGA and USB functions behind a PCIe-to-PCI
bridge that causes them to share the same stream ID:

  [e0]---00.0-[e1-e2]----00.0-[e2]--+-00.0  ASPEED Graphics Family
                                    \-02.0  ASPEED USB Controller

Both devices get stream ID 0x5e200 due to bridge aliasing, causing the
USB controller to be rejected with 'Aliasing StreamID unsupported'.

Per ASPEED, the AST1150 doesn't use a real PCI bus and always forwards
the original requester ID from downstream devices rather than replacing
it with any alias.

Add a new PCI_DEV_FLAGS_PCI_BRIDGE_NO_ALIASES flag and apply it to the
AST1150.

v2:
  - Use new PCI_DEV_FLAGS_PCI_BRIDGE_NO_ALIASES flag instead of
    PCI_DEV_FLAGS_BRIDGE_XLATE_ROOT to only skip aliasing at this
    bridge, not stop the entire upstream alias walk (Jason Gunthorpe)

I bet there will be more aspeed devices to come, but this is a
reasonable start

Looks reasonable to me;

(Super-nit: perhaps s/ALIASES/ALIAS/ to neatly mirror 
PCI_DEV_FLAG_PCIE_BRIDGE_ALIAS, which amusingly it's pretty much the 
exact opposite of, but I'll leave that to Bjorn's discretion)
