Add API to register a RPMsg service to the control device.
The rpmsg_drv_ctrl_info structure links a service to its driver.

What kind of things do you envision this list to contain in a year from
now?

The next one is the TTY, and perhaps the RPMsg I2C that allows to share a I2C
bus between the main and a remote processor.

Please notice that this field will also has to be added in a second step to the
rpmsg_endpoint_info struct, to allow the applications to select the expected
service.

Here an rpmsg_drv is registered with the infrastructure and as such I propose
rpmsg_ctrl_register_driver_ctrl().

When this driver is remove all drv_info left in rpmsg_drv_list should be free'd.
We can't count on users to call rpmsg_ctrl_unregister_ctl().

This has the potential of creating problems - we don't know then the memory
assocaited with @ctrl will disappear on us.

Shouldn't this be in its own header, something like rpmsg_ctrl.h?

We have plenty of bits in an enum type - I would set this to 4096 just to be on
the safe side.
