[RFC,v2 1/6] i2c: core: let adapters be notified of client attach/detach

[Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>]

An adapter might need to know when a new device is about to be
added. This will soon bee needed to implement an "I2C address
translator" (ATR for short), a device that propagates I2C transactions
with a different slave address (an "alias" address). An ATR driver
needs to know when a slave is being added to find a suitable alias and
program the device translation map.

Add an attach/detach callback pair to allow adapter drivers to be
notified of clients being added and removed.
