lirc scancode interface, and more

Port lirc_zilog to rc-core, introduce lirc scancode mode for sending and receiving, and then remove the lirc kernel api.

Note that the ported zilog driver needs the scancode interface, since without it the RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE type IR driver would not have a lirc chardev.

In summary:
- This removes the lirc staging directory.
- lirc IR TX can use in-kernel encoders for scancode encoding
- lirc_zilog now can transmit raw IR (or scancodes using above interface)
- lirc kapi (not uapi!) is gone
- The reading lirc scancode interface gives more information (e.g. protocol, toggle, repeat). So you can determine what protocol variant a remotes uses
- Line count is actually down and code cleaner (imo)

v2:
- Add MAINTAINERS entries
- Fixes for nec repeat
- Validate scancode for tx
- Minor bugfixes

v3:
- Review comments from Hans Verkuil
- Documented and fixed rc_validate_scancode()
- Fix a bug in kfifo on arm 32-bit
- this inferface won't be used for cec remote control passthrough

v4:
- Rewrote zilog driver to send raw IR rather than codes from database
- Minor ir-kbd-i2c improvements

Sean Young (28):
media: rc: i2c: set parent of rc device and improve name
media: rc: i2c: use dev_dbg rather hand-rolled debug
