pci_enable_msi*_exact is the equivalent of pci_enable_msi*_range
with minvecs == maxvecs and treating any return value >= 0 as 0.

I've updated the documentation so that the old usage examples are kept
around, but now use pci_alloc_irq_vectors.  I've also added a more detaild
blurb on pci_msi*_vec_count - I think there is no need for them, but
if I'm proven wrong we'll have to add a pci_irq_vector_count that handles
all interrupt types later.
