This patch adds a new function called iio_trigger_register_with_dev

struct this function requires iio_dev struct. It adds the trigger in
the device's trigger list and saves a reference to the device in the
trigger's struct.
When the device is registered, in the trigger folder of the device
(where current_trigger file resides) a symlink is being created for
each trigger that was registered width iio_trigger_register_with_dev.

This should be used for device specific triggers. Doing this the user space
applications can figure out what if the trigger registered by a specific device
and what should they write in the current_trigger file. Currently some
applications rely on the trigger name and this does not always work.
This implementation assumes that the trigger is registered before the device is
registered. If the order is not this the symlink will not be created but
everything else will work as before.

I was rather hoping we'd get a few more comments on this.
In principle I like the idea, but it's new ABI and does make life
a tiny bit more complex, so what do people think?
Few trivial code comments inline.
I don't think it adds more information. Both the trigger and the device get
registered for the same parent device, so you can already easily find the
trigger for a device by going to the parent device and taking a look at the
triggers registered by the parent device.
