[PATCH v12 2/7] i2c: mux: add idle_state property to i2c_mux_core

Muxes treat their channels differently when idle.
Let the mux core have this information to make it available for
internal use.

Possible idle states are:
 - I2C_MUX_IDLE_AS_IS: Leave channels as is when idle
 - I2C_MUX_IDLE_DISCONNECT: Disconnect channel (set HiZ when idle)
 - I2C_MUX_IDLE_UNKNOWN: Unknown idle state
 - <n>: Enable channel n (starting from 0) when idle"

Default value is set to I2C_MUX_IDLE_UNKNOWN.
