[PATCH 3/6] irqchip: Introduce IRQCHIP_HYBRID_DRIVER_{BEGIN, END} macros

Although we are trying to move to a world where a large number
of irqchip drivers can safely be built as platform drivers
the reality is that most endpoint drivers are not ready for that,
and will fail to probe as they expect their interrupt controller
to be up and running.
A halfway house solution is to let the driver indicate that if
it is built-in (i.e. not a module), then it must use the earily
probe mechanism, IRQCHIP_DECLARE() style. Otherwise, it is a
normal module implemenenting a platform driver, and we can
fallback to the existing code.
Hopefully we'll one day be able to drop this code altogether,
but that's not for tomorrow.
