pci: Disallow improper BAR registration for type 1
Prevent future developers working on root complexes, root ports, or
bridges that also wish to implement a BAR for those, from shooting
themselves in the foot. PCI type 1 headers only support 2 base address
registers. It is incorrect and difficult to figure out what is wrong
with the device when this mistake is made. With this, it is immediate
and obvious what has gone wrong.
