iio: Add data_available callback for buffers
This patch adds a new data_available() callback to the iio_buffer_access_funcs struct. The callback is used to indicate whether data is available in the buffer for reading. It is meant to replace the stufftoread flag from the iio_buffer struct. The reasoning for this is that the buffer implementation usually can determine whether data is available rather easily based on its state, on the other hand it can be rather tricky to update the stufftoread flag in a race free way.
