usb: typec: Add a sysfs node to manage port type
User space applications in some cases have the need to enforce a
specific port type(DFP/UFP/DRP). This change allows userspace to
attempt setting the desired port type. Low level drivers can
however reject the request if the specific port type is not supported.

+Description:
+		Indicates the type of the port. This attribute can be used for
+		requesting a change in the port type. Port type change is
+		supported as a synchronous operation, so write(2) to the
+		attribute will not return until the operation has finished.
+
+		Valid values:
+		- source (The port will behave as source only DFP port)
+		- sink (The port will behave as sink only UFP port)
+		- dual (The port will behave as dual-role-data and
+			dual-role-power port)
