Currently GPIO controllers can only be referred to by label in GPIO
lookup tables.
Add support for looking them up by "gpiochipN" name, with "N" the
corresponding GPIO device's ID number.

v4:
- Add Reviewed-by,
- Drop support for legacy sysfs interface based name matching,
- Replace complex custom matching by a simple additional check in the
existing gpiochip_match_name() function,
- Add kerneldoc() for find_chip_by_name(), documenting matching order.
v3:
- New.
