spi: new spi->mode bits

Browse Source 
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:

 * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
   line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
   full duplex.

   This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
   chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
   transitions with the SPI master.

 * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
   to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
   4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
   each of the 3-wire flavors).

   Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
   converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
   many host controllers support it today.

The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).
