greybus: bundle: add state sysfs file 

A bundle has a state file, that is managed by the endo userspace
process.  This file can be written to and any process that is polling on
the file will be woken up and can read the new value.  It's a "cheap"
IPC for programs that are not allowed to do anything other than
read/write to kernel sysfs files.

Description:
The device id of a Greybus bundle.
What: /sys/bus/greybus/device/.../state
Date: October 2015

Description:
A bundle has a state that is managed by the userspace
Endo process. This file allows that Endo to signal
other Android HALs that the state of the bundle has
changed to a specific value. When written to, any
process watching the file will be woken up, and the new
value can be read. It's a "poor-man's IPC", yes, but
simplifies the Android userspace code immensely.
