dt-bindings: leds: Add generic LED consumer documentation

Introduce common generic led consumer binding, where consumer defines
led(s) by phandle, as opposed to trigger-source binding where the
trigger source is defined in led itself.

Add already used in some schemas 'leds' parameter which expects
phandle-array. Additionally, introduce 'led-names' which could be used
by consumers to map LED devices to their respective functions.

+description:
+  Some LED defined in DT are required by other DT consumers, for example
+  v4l2 subnode may require privacy or flash LED. Unlike trigger-source
+  approach which is typically used as 'soft' binding, referencing LED
+  devices by phandle makes things simpler when 'hard' binding is desired.
+
+  Document LED properties that its consumers may define.
