gpiolib: allow poll() on value

Many gpio chips allow to generate interrupts when the value of a pin
changes. This patch gives usermode application the opportunity to make
use of this feature by calling poll(2) on the /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value
sysfs file. The edge to trigger can be set in the edge file in the same
directory. Possible values are "none", "rising", "falling", and "both".

Using level triggers is not possible with current sysfs since nothing
changes the GPIO value (and the IRQ keeps triggering). Edge triggering
will "just work". Note that if there was an event between read() and
poll(), the poll() returns immediately.

Also note that this version only supports true GPIO interrupts. Some
later patch might be able to synthesize this behavior by timer-driven
polling; some systems seem to need that.
