samus: change fan RPM values, enable fast-start

Browse Source 
Updating the fan speeds according to the manufacturer's specs.

The fan vendor recommends that the minimum fan speed be a 20%
duty cycle. Since the built-in fan controller has a tach-based
feedback loop, I'm using the RPM value instead of the duty cycle
(20% is 2286 RPM, according to the vendor).

The vendor also wants a 30% duty cycle to start turning, but the
built-in fan controller provides support for fast-start too. The
controller's minimum fast-start duty cycle is 50%, but it also
has a programmable number of revolutions that it will wait before
backing off.

Holding my ear down close to the fans while they start and stop,
it seems that the minimum 2 revolution start period is sufficient
and provides the least noise. Of course, since I've never had any
problems starting the fans directly at 1000 RPM this noise is a
little more noticeable than that. It's quite possible that the
built-in controller is smart enough to make 1000 RPM work by
bumping the duty cycle up until the fans turn even if the fans
don't like it.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:32892
BRANCH=ToT,samus
TEST=manual

Listen closely and run the EC console "faninfo" command to see
the fans start and stop as the system boots and idles.
