Previously, the external module relied on gpiod attributes being present
within `globals()` to construct return values back to the caller.
This assumption required callers of the external module to have imported
the attributes to populate `globals()` for the interface to work.
Having this implicit contract is opaque and prone to causing issues if
imports within gpiod modules ever get reworked.
Now, the external module explicitly imports attributes from gpiod in
order to return values back to the caller.
There should be no concern about circular imports as the external module
should be completely imported by the time callers call into it.
Since Py_gpiod_GetGlobalType is no longer used, it has been replaced
with Py_gpiod_GetModuleAttrString which returns a new PyObject*
reference for the named module and attribute that must be decremented
when no longer in use.

PyModule_AddObjectRef() was added in cpython v3.10 while libgpiod claims
to depend on python v3.9. Replace it with an older variant that steals the
reference to the added object on success.

We're currently unintentionally exporting a bunch of symbols that should
remain local to sub-modules. Use __all__ where appropriate so that we
don't re-export standard library functions such as select() etc. in the
gpiod module.

Add a new optional argument to Chip.request_lines() called output_values.
It accepts a dictionary of mappings between line names or offsets to the
output values the requested lines should be set to at request-time.

We have two functions in the C API that allow users to retrieve a list
of offsets from objects: gpiod_line_request_get_offsets() and
gpiod_line_config_get_offsets(). Even though they serve pretty much the
same purpose, they have different signatures and one of them also
requires the user to free the memory allocated within the libgpiod
library with a non-libgpiod free() function.
Unify them: make them take the array in which to store offsets and the
size of this array. Make them return the number of offsets actually
stored in the array and make them impossible to fail. Change their names
to be more descriptive and in the case of line_config: add a new function
that allows users to get the number of configured offsets.
Update the entire tree to use the new interfaces.
For rust bindings: also unify the line config interface to return a map
of line settings like C++ bindings do instead of having a function to
get settings by offset. A map returned from a single call is easier to
iterate over with a for loop than using an integer and calling the
previous line_settings() method.

Instead of telling the user what type this function returns (they can
check it by looking at the prototype), tell them what the return value
actually represents.

Python bindings now have their own setup.py script and can be built
separately from the rest of the code-base. Let's decouple the python
package version from libgpiod API (but let's keep a module attribute
containing the API version) by introducing a version.py submodule that
can be executed by the setup.py script. This way we have a single
canonical place defining the version number.

While we use it for edge event timestamps exclusively at the moment,
the actual enum names shouldn't limit its application and simply just
refer to existing clock types known by the GPIO uAPI. The relevant
functions are still called set/get_event_clock() as it's in line with
their functionality.

The read_edge_event() family of functions should actually be called
read_edge_events() as they universally allow to read more than one
event. We're converting wait_edge_event() too for consistency.

Use enum types explicitly across the entire C API. Modern compilers can
catch some bugs with enums and it also helps IDEs and general readability.

This commit is the result of a squash of all the commits created during
the development of libgpiod v2. This is done to preserve bisectability
of the git tree. It contains significant re-writes of the core C library
as well as C++ and python bindings. The tools have been adjusted to work
with the new API but have not undergone significant changes yet.
This commit contains the bulk of the work on libgpiod v2 but the
development continues with more changes planned.
