i2c: Rename the PEC functionality bit
Rename I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_HWPEC_CALC as I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_PEC, and list that
functionality as always available through the software implementation.
Update documentation accordingly (and list similar requirements).
The way it's currently packaged doesn't present the capability in a
useful way.
