[RFC 1/2] ABI: iio: support AVERAGING_RATIO setting

[Marc Titinger]

Some ADC devices allow averaging/downsampling. The minimal parameter
set for this will be the number of taps used for computing a mean value.

In some cases the ratio will hold discrete values for instance "1, 4, 16"
hence an averaging_ratio_available property is useful. The possible ratio
values are less likely to changing with the device settings, so this patch
only provides a CONST version of the definition helper.

Tested with ina226:

# ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/
averaging_ratio_available     in_voltage0_raw
dev                           in_voltage1_raw
in_averaging_ratio            name
in_calibscale                 power
in_current2_raw               sampling_frequency_available
in_power3_raw                 subsystem
in_sampling_frequency         uevent

# cat averaging_ratio_available
1, 4, 16, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024
