I named the field representing the current user of GPIO line as
"label" but this is too vague and ambiguous. Before anyone gets
confused, rename it to "consumer" and indicate clearly in the
documentation that this is a string set by the user of the line.
Also clean up leftovers in the documentation.

Use %2d for the GPIO line number. This should align the results
horziontally for most gpio chips.
The GPIO label uses quotes for real values. For GPIO names this is
currently missing. The patch adds the missing quote.

This adds a GPIO line ABI for getting name, label and a few select
flags from the kernel.
This hides the kernel internals and only tells userspace what it
may need to know: the different in-kernel consumers are masked
behind the flag "kernel" and that is all userspace needs to know.
However electric characteristics like active low, open drain etc
are reflected to userspace, as this is important information.
We provide information on all lines on all chips, later on we will
likely add a flag for the chardev consumer so we can filter and
display only the lines userspace actually uses in e.g. lsgpio,
but then we first need an ABI for userspace to grab and use
(get/set/select direction) a GPIO line.
Sample output from "lsgpio" on ux500:
GPIO chip: gpiochip7, "8011e000.gpio", 32 GPIO lines
line 0: unnamed unlabeled
line 1: unnamed unlabeled
(...)
line 25: unnamed "SFH7741 Proximity Sensor" [kernel output open-drain]
line 26: unnamed unlabeled

The gpio_chip label is useful for userspace to understand what
kind of GPIO chip it is dealing with. Let's store a copy of this
label in the gpio_device, add it to the struct passed to userspace
for GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL and modify lsgpio to show it.

This creates GPIO tools under tools/gpio/* and adds a single
example program to list the GPIOs on a system. When proper
devices are created it provides this minimal output:
