hwmon: (it87) Fix thermal sensor type values

The it87 driver doesn't follow the standard sensor type values as
documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. It uses value 2 for
thermistors instead of value 4. This causes "sensors" to tell the user
that the chip is setup for a transistor while it is actually setup for
a thermistor.

Using value 4 for thermistors solves the problem. For compatibility
reasons, we still accept value 2 but emit a warning message so that
users update their configuration files.

 The IT87xx only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
 will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
