LIRC: add new IOCTL that enables learning mode (wide band receiver)
Still missing features: carrier report & timeout reports.
Will need to pack these into ir_raw_event

<para>Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is intended
to be used to learn output of existing remote.
Calling that ioctl with (1) will enable it, and with (0) disable it.
This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver
that prevents them to be used with some remotes.
Wide band receiver might also be more precise
On the other hand its disadvantage it usually reduced range of reception.
Note: wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable
carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable
carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier
reports are active will do nothing.</para>
