can: bittiming: add PWM validation

Add can_validate_pwm() to validate the values pwms, pwml and pwml.
Error messages are added to each of the checks to inform the user on
what went wrong. Refer to those error messages to understand the
validation logic.

The boundary values CAN_PWM_DECODE_NS (the transceiver minimum
decoding margin) and CAN_PWM_NS_MAX (the maximum PWM symbol duration)
are hardcoded for the moment. Note that a transceiver capable of
bitrates higher than 20 Mbps may be able to handle a CAN_PWM_DECODE_NS
below 5 ns. If such transceivers become commercially available, this
code could be revisited to make this parameter configurable. For now,
leave it static.
