auxdisplay: linedisp: Add support for overriding character mapping

There is already the driver using character mapping table for
7 or 14 segment display. It is possible to override it. Make
the similar in the line display library to allow other drivers
to utilise the same functionality.

auxdisplay: linedisp: Provide struct linedisp_ops for future extension

Currently the line display library doesn't scale in case we want to
provide more operations. Prepare the library to take a newly created
struct linedisp_ops that scales.

auxdisplay: linedisp: Add missing header(s)

Do not imply that some of the generic headers may be always included.
Instead, include explicitly what we are direct user of.

auxdisplay: linedisp: Use unique number for id

The absence of decrementation of linedisp_id is incorrect in two ways,
i.e. it may cause:
- an ID exhaustion
- (and if the above is addressed) a duplicate id number may be allocated
next time a device is added

Replace above mentioned approach by using IDA framework.

auxdisplay: Extract character line display core support

Extract the character line display core support from the simple ASCII
LCD driver for the MIPS Boston, Malta & SEAD3 development boards into
its own subdriver, so it can be reused for other displays.

As this moves the "message" device attribute in sysfs in a "linedisp.N"
subdirectory, a symlink is added to preserve backwards compatibility.
