hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211

This is a new driver for the VIA VT1211 Super-IO chip. It is a rewrite
of the existing vt1211 driver (by Mark D. Studebaker and Lars Ekman)
which has been around for a while but never made it into the main
kernel tree.

It is implemented as a platform driver and therefore requires
lm_sensors 2.10.1 to function properly.
