[PATCH v3 1/3] rtc: Add functions to set and read rtc offset

[Joshua Clayton <stillcompiling@gmail.com>]

A number of rtc devices, such as the NXP pcf2123 include a facility
to adjust the clock in order to compensate for temperature or a
crystal, capacitor, etc, that results in the rtc clock not running
at exactly 32.768 kHz.

Data sheets I have seen refer to this as a clock offset, and measure it
in parts per million, however they often reference ppm to 2 digits of
precision, which makes integer ppm less than ideal.

We use parts per billion, which more than covers the precision needed
and works nicely within 32 bits

Changes since v2:
- patches 1 - 5 from v2 were merged, so 6, 7 , and 8 become 1, 2, 3
- Added documentation of the sysfs interface in Documenbtation/rtc.txt
- Added code so that the offset attrbute does not appear on rtcs that
  do not support it.
