gpiolib: Pass array info to get/set array functions
In order to make use of array info obtained from gpiod_get_array() and speed up processing of arrays matching single GPIO chip layout, that information must be passed to get/set array functions. Extend the functions' API with that additional parameter and update all users. Pass NULL if a user builds an array itself from single GPIOs.

Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
contiguous within the array of descriptors.
