Third round of new IIO drivers, cleanups and functionality for the 4.2 cycle.

Given Linus announced a 4.8rc coming up, hopefully time for one more
lot of IIO patches this cycle.  Some of these are actually
improvements / fixes for patches earlier in the cycle.

New device support
* st_accel driver - support devices with 8 bit channels.

Cleanup
* A general cleanup of the iio tools under /tools/ from Hartmut.
  I'm more than a little embarassed by how bad some of these were! Are well,
  much more refined and less bug prone now.
  These cover lots of stuff like unhandled error returns, memory leaks as
  well as general refactoring to tidy the code up.
* iio_simple_dummy - fix memory leaks in the init functions, drop some
  pointless error returns from functions that never generate errors and
  make the module parameter explicitly unsigned.
* More buffer handling reworks from Lars-Peter, ...
