gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links

Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to
be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides
more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per
GPIO basis.

Adapted from David Brownell's comments on a similar concept:
