gpiolib: request/free hooks

Add a new internal mechanism to gpiolib to support low power
operations by letting gpio_chip instances see when their GPIOs
are in use.  When no GPIOs are active, chips may be able to
enter lower powered runtime states by disabling clocks and/or
power domains.

 These two calls are optional because not not all current Linux platforms
 offer such functionality in their GPIO support; a valid implementation
 could return success for all gpio_request() calls.  Unlike the other calls,
