Intel ACE4 based products set more strict constraints on HDA BDLE start
address and length alignment. Modify capability flags to drop
AZX_DCAPS_NO_ALIGN_BUFSIZE for Intel Nova Lake platforms.

Intel ACE4 based products set more strict constraints on HDA BDLE start
address and length alignment. Add a constraint to align period size to
128 bytes.
The commit removes the "minimum as per HDA spec" comment. This comment
was misleading as spec actually does allow a 2 byte BDLE length, and
more importantly, period size also directly impacts how the BDLE start
addresses are aligned, so it is not sufficient just to consider allowed
buffer length.
