Certain GPIO descriptor arrays returned by gpio_get_array() may contain
information on a single GPIO chip driving array member pins in hardware
order. In such cases, bitmaps of values can be passed directly to the
chip callback functions without wasting time on iterations.
Add respective code to gpiod_get/set_array_bitmap_complex() functions.

+If the .chip member of the array structure, filled in by gpiod_get_array() in
+certain circumstances, contains a valid GPIO chip descriptor, the raw variants
+of the functions can take fast processing paths, passing bitmap arguments
