pinctrl: add function to parse generic pinconfig properties from a dt node

pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config() takes a node as input and generates an
array of generic pinconfig values from the properties of this node.

As I couldn't find a mechanism to count the number of properties of a node
the function uses internally an array to accept one of parameter and copies
the real present options to a smaller variable at its end.

+== Using generic pinconfig options ==
+
+Generic pinconfig parameters can be used by defining a separate node containing
+the applicable parameters (and optional values), like:
+
+pcfg_pull_up: pcfg_pull_up {
+        bias-pull-up;
+        drive-strength = <20>;
+};
+
+This node should then be referenced in the appropriate pinctrl node as a phandle
+and parsed in the driver using the pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config function.
+
+Supported configuration parameters are:
+
+bias-disable            - disable any pin bias
+bias-high-impedance     - high impedance mode ("third-state", "floating")
+bias-bus-hold           - latch weakly
+bias-pull-up            - pull up the pin
+bias-pull-down          - pull down the pin
+bias-pull-pin-default   - use pin-default pull state
+drive-push-pull         - drive actively high and low
+drive-open-drain        - drive with open drain
+drive-open-source       - drive with open source
+drive-strength          - sink or source at most X mA
+input-schmitt-enable    - enable schmitt-trigger mode
+input-schmitt-disable   - disable schmitt-trigger mode
+input-schmitt           - run in schmitt-trigger mode with hysteresis X
+input-debounce          - debounce mode with debound time X
+power-source            - select power source X
+slew-rate               - use slew-rate X
+low-power-mode          - low power mode
+output-low              - set the pin to output mode with low level
+output-high             - set the pin to output mode with high level
