gpio: update gpiochip .get() callback description

Since gpiochip .get() callback may return a negative error value, it
strictly limits the range of possible non-error returned values to
a subset of [30:0] bitmask, however on practice on success all
gpiochip drivers return either 0 for low signal or 1 for high signal,
this is assured by "gpio: *: Be sure to clamp return value" series of
changes. To avoid any confusion, misinterpretation and potential
errors while developing gpiochip drivers in future convert this
implicit assumption to a mandatory rule.

For output signals with unknown output signal state gpiochip drivers
should return a negative error instead of 0.
