[PATCH RESEND] gpio: add flags to export GPIOs when requesting

[Wolfram Sang]

Introduce new flags to automatically export GPIOs when using the convenience
functions gpio_request_one() or gpio_request_array(). This eases support for
custom boards where lots of GPIOs need to be exported for customer
applications.
