[libgpiod v2][PATCH 0/4] core: add gpiod_request_lines

[Kent Gibson <warthog618@gmail.com>]

In my review of the CXX bindings I suggested a top-level version of
Chip.request_lines(), and possibly a C API version as well, so here
is the C version, plus a couple of semi-related tweaks I made along
the way.

The first patch adds the gpiod_request_lines().
Patch 3 migrates the appropriate tools.
Patch 4 minimizes the lifetimes of objects in the tools as I've
previously seen confusion over how long lived objects need to be.
Patch 2 is just a rename cos "inexistent" looks weird to me.
Strictly speaking it is fine, but unless there is a problem with
using "nonexistent" I would go with the latter.

This series may be require my unsigned values patch.

Cheers,
Kent.
