i2c: core: support recovery for single-ended GPIOs

Currently, i2c_init_recovery() only assigns the set_sda/set_scl
hooks if gpiod_get_direction() returns GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_OUT.

This logic fails on certain SoC controllers where open-drain lines
in a high-impedance state are physically reported as inputs. This
leads to a "deadlock" where the I2C core refuses to assign the
recovery hooks because it incorrectly assumes the pins are
input-only, even though they are fully capable of driving the bus
low for recovery.

Update the recovery initialization to use the new
gpiod_is_single_ended() helper. If a GPIO is configured as
open-drain or open-source in the firmware, it is safe to assume
it can be used for bus recovery, even if the current hardware
direction is reported as input.
