IDE: Add generic remove() method for drives; remove reboot notifier.
The remove() method is generic for all drives, and set in ide_driver_t::gen_driver.
The call simply forwards the call to ide_driver_t::standby().
This obviates the need for IDE reboot notifier. The core iterates over all present
devices in device_shutdown() and unregisters each one.

IDE: make ide_drive_remove() call driver's ->cleanup().
This was accidentally dropped before, but re-added now to completely mimic
behavior of the reboot notifier IDE used to have.
And if you look at the changes you will notice ->suspend used to be called
only on a halt, but now it is also called on a reboot.
