gpio: <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubs

Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that
don't support the GPIO programming interface.  That includes the arch-specific
implementation glue otherwise.

This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if
they're available, but don't require them.  One example of such a driver is
NAND driver for various FreeScale chips.  On platforms update with GPIO
support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the
BUSY signal is off.

(Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)

That said, if the convention is supported on their platform, drivers should

using the include file:

Kconfig (boolean true), and provide an <asm/gpio.h> file. Drivers that can't
work without standard GPIO calls should have Kconfig entries which depend
on GENERIC_GPIO. The GPIO calls are available, either as "real code" or as
optimized-away stubs, when drivers use the include file:

If you stick to this convention then it'll be easier for other developers to
see what your code is doing, and help maintain it.

(When a circuit needs 5 kOhm, on-chip 100 kOhm resistors won't do.)
Likewise drive strength (2 mA vs 20 mA) and voltage (1.8V vs 3.3V) is a
platform-specific issue, as are models like (not) having a one-to-one
correspondence between configurable pins and GPIOs.
There are other system-specific mechanisms that are not specified here,
like the aforementioned options for input de-glitching and wire-OR output.
