gpiolib: Discourage to use formatting strings in line names
Currently the documentation for line names allows to use %u inside
the alternative name. This is broken in character device approach
from day 1 and being in use solely in sysfs.
Character device interface has a line number as a part of its address,
so the users better rely on it. Hence remove the misleading documentation.
On top of that, there are no in-kernel users (out of 6, if I'm correct)
for such names and moreover if one exists it won't help in distinguishing
lines with the same naming as '%u' will also be in them and we will get
a warning in gpiochip_set_desc_names() for such cases.
