In true open-drain implementations, the "high" state is achieved by entering a high-impedance mode, which many hardware controllers report as "input" even if the software intends to use it as an output. This creates issues for consumer drivers (like I2C) that rely on gpiod_get_direction() to decide if a line can be driven. Introduce gpiod_is_single_ended() to allow consumers to check the software configuration (GPIO_FLAG_OPEN_DRAIN/GPIO_FLAG_OPEN_SOURCE) of a descriptor. This provides a robust way to identify lines that are capable of being driven, regardless of their instantaneous hardware state.
