ACPICA: Interpreter: Fix Store() when implicit conversion is not possible.
For the cases such as a store of a string to an existing package object, implement the store as a CopyObject(). This is a small departure from the ACPI specification which states that the control method should be aborted in this case. However, ASLTS suite depends on this behavior.
