After UAPI header file split [1] all user-kernel interfaces were
placed under include/uapi/.

This patch moves IIO user specific API from:
* include/linux/iio/events.h => include/uapi/linux/iio/events.h
* include/linux/iio/types.h => include/uapi/linux/iio/types.h

Now there is no need for nasty tricks to compile userspace programs
(e.g iio_event_monitor). Just installing the kernel headers with
make headers_install command does the job.

Thanks for taking care of this, this is something that should have done a while ago.

I think everything in this file below is not part of the ABI and should not be exported to userspace.
