media: i2c: add I2C Address Translator (ATR) support
An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C
slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards
transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But it
is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave
address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias"
and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the
downstream chip.
Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow
implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care of
adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.
