Sometimes devices have per channel properties which either do not map nicely to
the current channel info scheme (e.g. string properties) or are very device
specific, so it does not make sense to add generic support for them.
Currently drivers define these attributes by hand for each channel. Depending on
the number of channels this can amount to quite a few lines of boilerplate code.
Especially if a driver supports multiple variations of a chip with different
numbers of channels. In this case it becomes necessary to have a individual
attribute list per chip variation and also a individual iio_info struct.
This patch introduces a new scheme for handling such per channel attributes
called extended channel info attributes. A extended channel info attribute
consist of a name, a flag whether it is shared and read and write callbacks.
The read and write callbacks are similar to the {read,write}_raw callbacks and
take a IIO device and a channel as their first parameters, but instead of
pre-parsed integer values they directly get passed the raw string value, which
has been written to the sysfs file.
It is possible to assign a list of extended channel info attributes to a
channel. For each extended channel info attribute the IIO core will create a new
sysfs attribute conforming to the IIO channel naming spec for the channels type,
similar as for normal info attributes. Read and write access to this sysfs
attribute will be redirected to the extended channel info attributes read and
write callbacks.

Changes since v1:
* Do not move the -EBUSY handling for duplicated shared attributes to
__iio_add_chan_devattr since it will cause us to count shared attributes
multiple times, thus allocating more attributes than we actually use.
