gpiolib: gpio_to_irq() hooks

Add a new gpiolib mechanism: gpio_chip instances can provide mappings
between their (input) GPIOs and any associated IRQs.  This makes it easier
for platforms to support IRQs that are provided by board-specific external
chips instead of as part of their core (such as SOC-integrated GPIOs).

Also update the irq_to_gpio() description, saying to avoid it because it's
not always supported.
