[PATCH 2/2] iio: core: Add "extended_name" attribute to all channels

[Paul Cercueil]

The point of this new attribute is to make the IIO tree actually
parsable.

Before, given this attribute as a filename:
in_voltage0_aux_sample_rate

Userspace had no way to know if the attribute name was
"aux_sample_rate" with no extended name, or "sample_rate" with "aux" as
the extended name, or just "rate" with "aux_sample" as the extended
name.

This was somewhat possible to deduce when there was more than one
attribute present for a given channel, e.g:
in_voltage0_aux_sample_rate
in_voltage0_aux_frequency

There, it was possible to deduce that "aux" was the extended name. But
even with more than one attribute, this wasn't very robust, as two
attributes starting with the same prefix (e.g. "sample_rate" and
"sample_size") would result in the first part of the prefix being
interpreted as being part of the extended name.

To address this issue, add an "extended_name" attribute to all channels
that actually do have an extended name. For this attribute, the extended
name is not present in the filename; so in this example, the file name
would be "in_voltage0_extended_name", and reading it would return "aux".
