[libgpiod][PATCH] build: allow building with pre-v5.5 kernel headers

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

libgpiod v1.6 requires at least v5.5 linux kernel headers to build. This
is because several new symbols have been defined in linux v5.5. In order
to allow building with kernel headers v4.6 and on, let's check the
presence of the new symbols and redefine them if needed.

The new features won't work on kernels pre v5.5 but the build won't fail
anymore.

Downstream complains a lot about libgpiod v1.6 not building with kernel
headers pre-v5.5. We've had a discussion on that over at buildroot[1].

For libgpiod v2.0 we need to figure out a better way of dealing with new
kernel features added after the release of v2.0 but for v1.6 let's just
redefine the symbols if needed.
