gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links

Browse Source 
Commit 926b663ce8 (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to
be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides
more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per
GPIO basis.

Adapted from David Brownell's comments on a similar concept:
