i2c: add API for generic transfer
Add an API to I2C for generic transfer. This is for those data
transactions which are more complex than simple read or write.
One example use of this is to read register data from a slave
device. The master has to write the address of the register
to slave, then start reading from slave for register data.
In this situation, simple read or write is no longer
sufficient, as for some slave devices, they require RESTART
when data transfer direction changes. Doing a simple write via
i2c_write() results in STOP at end of transfer, which results
in the slave not responding to read request as it is not
expected to send anything back.
