[PATCH v4 02/10] iio: backend: add support for data alignment

[Antoniu Miclaus <antoniu.miclaus@analog.com>]

Add backend support for staring the capture synchronization.
When activated, it initates a proccess that aligns the sample's most
significant bit (MSB) based solely on the captured data, without
considering any other external signals.

changes in v4:
 - implement iio_backend_interface_data_align with timeout parameter.
