power: supply: ab8500: Exit maintenance if too low voltage

The maintenance charging is supposedly designed such that the
maintenance current compensates for the battery discharge curve,
and as the charging progress from CC/CV -> maintenance A ->
maintenance B states, we end up on a reasonable voltage to
restart ordinary CC/CV charging after the safety timer at the
maintenance B state exits.

However: old batteries discharge quicker, and in an old
battery we might not get to the expiration of the maintenance B
timer before the battery is completely depleted and the system
powers off with an empty battery.

This is hardly the desire of anyone leaving their phone in the
charger for a few days!

Introduce a second clause in both maintenance states such that
we exit the state and return to ordinary CC/CV charging if
the voltage drops below charge_restart_voltage_uv or 95%
if this is not defined for the battery.
