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.)
