The code and documentation are more difficult to maintain when kept
separately. This is further compounded when the standard structure
documentation infrastructure is not used.
Move the documentation into the code, use the standard documentation
infrastructure, add current documented functions, and reference the text
in the rst file.

It was unclear when the auxiliary device objects were to be free'ed by
the parent (registering) driver.
Also there are some patterns like using devm_add_action_or_reset() which
are helpful to mention to those using the interface to ensure they don't
double free or miss freeing the auxiliary devices.

The documentation for creating an auxiliary device is a 3 step not a 2
step process. Specifically the requirements of setting the name, id,
dev.release, and dev.parent fields was not clear as a precursor to the '2
step' process documented.
Clarify by declaring this a 3 step process starting with setting the
fields of struct auxiliary_device correctly.
Also add some sample code and tie the change into the rest of the
documentation.

There's an effort to move the remove() callback in the driver core to
not return an int, as nothing can be done if this function fails. To
make that effort easier, make the aux bus remove function void to start
with so that no users have to be changed sometime in the future.

Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver.
It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an
auxiliary_driver to it.
The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks.
Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to
an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.
