pinctrl: move generic functions to the pinctrl_ namespace
Since we want to use the former pinmux handles and mapping tables for generic control involving both muxing and configuration we begin refactoring by renaming them from pinmux_* to pinctrl_*. ChangeLog v1->v2: - Also rename the PINMUX_* macros in machine.h to PIN_ as indicated in the documentation so as to reflect the generic nature of these mapping entries from now on.
