ft2232_spi: reintroduce generic GPIOL control
This reintroduces a reworked version of the GPIOL pin control first introduced in commit 3207844 (CB:49637), which was reverted in commit 6518cf3 (CB:55692) due to breakage. This change introduces a new argument `gpiolX` to allow use of the four GPIOL pins either as generic gpios or as additional CS# signal(s). `X` specifies the GPIOL pin (0-3) to be set to one of [HLC] with the following meaning: * H - set the pin as output high * L - set the pin as output low * C - use the pin as additional CS# signal The third value, `C`, aims to replace the parameter `csgpiol`, that is now marked as deprecated and can be removed at some point in the future. `gpiol` and `csgpiol` are mutually exclusive and use of both results in an error. Multiple pins may be set by specifying the parameter multiple times. Documentation was updated/added accordingly. Test: All pin levels/modes have been verified to behave correctly with a logic analyzer.
