Add I2C statistics such as Bus Error counts and NACK counts as sysfs
attributes.

I2C statistics such as bus error counts and NACK counts, are
implemented in many I2C controllers.

Some drivers already populate the counters in debugfs. Having those
statistics in sysfs can enable for a unified definition across various
I2C drivers, make the statistics more ABI-stable.

Overall the patch works in the following way:
1) A sysfs directory for I2C statistics is created for an i2c_adapter.
2) Each specific I2C driver can optionally instantiate each of the
statistics individually.

Test Process:
1. Clone the OpenBMC repository
2. `devtool modify`and apply patch to the linux-nuvoton recipe
3. Build image for quanta-gsj
4. Build QEMU
5. Run the image-bmc image in QEMU

Results:
root@gsj:/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/stats# ls
ber_cnt       i2c_speed     nack_cnt      rec_fail_cnt  rec_succ_cnt
timeout_cnt
root@gsj:/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/stats# cat *
