gpio: provide gpiod_is_shared()

Provide an interface allowing consumers to check if a GPIO descriptor
represents a GPIO that can potentially be shared by multiple consumers
at the same time. This is exposed to allow subsystems that already
work around the limitations of the current non-exclusive GPIO handling
in some ways, to gradually convert to relying on the new shared GPIO
feature of GPIOLIB.

Extend the gpiolib-shared module to mark the GPIO shared proxy
descriptors with a flag checked by the new interface.
