iio: magnetometer: add Allegro MicroSystems ALS31300 3-D Linear Hall Effect driver

The Allegro MicroSystems ALS31300 is a 3-D Linear Hall Effect Sensor
mainly used for 3D head-on motion sensing applications.

The device is configured over I2C, and as part of the Sensor data the
temperature core is also provided.

While the device provides an IRQ gpio, it depends on a configuration
programmed into the internal EEPROM, thus only the default mode is
supported and buffered input via trigger is also supported to allow
streaming values with the same sensing timestamp.

The device can be configured with different sensitivities in factory,
but the sensitivity value used to calculate value into the Gauss
unit is not available from registers, thus the sensitivity is provided
by the compatible/device-id string which is based on the part number
as described in the datasheet page 2.
