gpiolib: Pass array info to get/set array functions
In order to make use of array info obtained from gpiod_get_array() and
speed up processing of arrays matching single GPIO chip layout, that
information must be passed to get/set array functions.  Extend the
functions' API with that additional parameter and update all users.
Pass NULL if a user builds an array itself from single GPIOs.

 Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
 contiguous within the array of descriptors.
