usb: pd: Exposing the Peak Current value of Fixed Supplies to user space

Exposing the value of the field as is.

The Peak Current value has to be interpreted as described
in Table 6-10 (Fixed Power Source Peak Current Capability)
of the USB Power Delivery Specification, but that
interpretation will be done in user space, not in kernel.

usb: typec: pd: Add higher capability sysfs for sink PDO

28th bit of fixed supply sink PDO represents higher capability.
When this bit is set, the sink device needs more than vsafe5V
(eg: 12 V) to provide full functionality. This patch adds
this higher capability sysfs interface for sink PDO.
28th bit of fixed supply source PDO represents usb_suspend_supported
attribute. This usb_suspend_supported sysfs is already exposed for
source PDOs. This patch adds 'source-capabilities' in
usb_suspend_supported sysfs documentation for additional clarity.

usb: typec: Separate USB Power Delivery from USB Type-C

Introducing a small device class for USB Power Delivery.
The idea with it is that we do not mix any more USB Power
Delivery information into the USB Type-C connectors only.
This separation will make it possible to register USB Power
Delivery devices also from other places, for example from
USB Type-C Bridges (see USB Type-C Bridge Specification).

The device class will not always deal with only the messages
and objects that were negotiated with the partner, but
instead messages and objects that can be used in the
negotiation. That allows the USB PD devices to be shared and
reconfigured. The ports can decide which objects are to be
advertised to the partner before the contract is negotiated.
It is also possible to allow the user space to make that
decision if needed.
