ide: /proc/ide/hd*/settings rework

* Add struct ide_devset, S_* flags, *DEVSET() & ide*_devset_*() macros.

* Add 'const struct ide_devset **settings' to ide_driver_t.

* Use 'const struct ide_devset **settings' in ide_drive_t instead of
  'struct ide_settings_s *settings'.  Then convert core code and device
  drivers to use struct ide_devset and co.:

  - device settings are no longer allocated dynamically for each device
    but instead there is an unique struct ide_devset instance per setting

  - device driver keeps the pointer to the table of pointers to its
    settings in ide_driver_t.settings

  - generic settings are kept in ide_generic_setting[]

  - ide_proc_[un]register_driver(), ide_find_setting_by_name(),
    ide_{read,write}_setting() and proc_ide_{read,write}_settings()
    are updated accordingly

  - ide*_add_settings() are removed

* Remove no longer used __ide_add_setting(), ide_add_setting(),
  __ide_remove_setting() and auto_remove_settings().

* Remove no longer used TYPE_*, SETTING_*, ide_procset_t
  and ide_settings_t.

* ->keep_settings, ->using_dma, ->unmask, ->noflush, ->dsc_overlap,
  ->nice1, ->addressing, ->wcache and ->nowerr ide_drive_t fields
  can now be bitfield flags.

While at it:

* Rename ide_find_setting_by_name() to ide_find_setting().

* Rename write_wcache() to set_wcache().

There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.
