HID: sensor: Custom and Generic sensor support

HID Sensor Spec defines two usage ids for custom sensors

	HID_USAGE_SENSOR_TYPE_OTHER_CUSTOM (0x09, 0xE1)
	HID_USAGE_SENSOR_TYPE_OTHER_GENERIC(0x09, 0xE2)

	In addition the standard also defines usage ids for custom fields.
The purpose of these sensors is to extend the functionality or provide a way to
obfuscate the data being communicated by a sensor. Without knowing the mapping
between the data and its encapsulated form, it is difficult for an driver to
determine what data is being communicated by the sensor.  This allows some
differentiating use cases, where vendor can provide applications.  Since these
can't be represented by standard sensor interfaces like IIO, we present these
as fields with

- type (input/output)
- units
- min/max
- get/set value

In addition an dev interface to transfer report events. Details about this
interface is described in /Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.txt.  Manufacturers
should not use these ids for any standard sensors, otherwise the the
product/vendor id can be added to black list.
