WIP

This change fixes how IIO buffer attributes get unpacked.
There could be a saner way to unpack these without needed to change the
drivers that attach buffer attributes incorrectly via
iio_buffer_set_attrs()

It seems that the design idea was that there is a single buffer per IIO
device, so all drivers attached buffer attributes for FIFO to the IIO
buffer.

Now with the change to add a device object to the IIO buffer, and shifting
around the device-attributes, a 'device' object unpacks to an IIO buffer
object, which needs some special handling.'

One idea to fix this, is to get rid of iio_buffer_set_attrs() somehow.
Or, to maybe allocate some wrapper device-attributes.

With this change, IIO still needs (to work with the older ABI):
- symlink the chardev of the first IIO buffer device to the IIO device

Agreed - though I think what you have here is about the best we can
do and actually seems a sensible change in general.

There is a bit a mess in the abstraction, but I'm not totally sure
how to tidy that up.

These attrs are properties of the pre-demux buffer, whereas we
present them in the same directory as the post-demux buffer
(there of course can be other post-demux buffers such as in kernel
consumers).  The scan_elements are a characteristic of this particular
post-demux buffer as it's length etc. 

Feels like we should tidy that up, but we still potentially need
one set of these for each pre-demux buffer.  Maybe we need
to explicitly call out hw fifos?  It'll be a mess as sometimes
we have a single hw fifo, feeding multiple IIO devices (hopefully
just multiple buffers in the future).
