gpio: gpio_{request,free}() now required (feature removal)

We want to phase out the GPIO "autorequest" mechanism in gpiolib and
require all callers to use gpio_request().

 - Update feature-removal-schedule
 - Update the documentation now
 - Convert the relevant pr_warning() in gpiolib to a WARN()
   so folk using this mechanism get a noisy stack dump

Some drivers and board init code will probably need to change.
Implementations not using gpiolib will still be fine; they are already
required to implement gpio_{request,free}() stubs.

+What:	GPIO autorequest on gpio_direction_{input,output}() in gpiolib
+When:	February 2010
+Why:	All callers should use explicit gpio_request()/gpio_free().
+	The autorequest mechanism in gpiolib was provided mostly as a
+	migration aid for legacy GPIO interfaces (for SOC based GPIOs).
+	Those users have now largely migrated.  Platforms implementing
+	the GPIO interfaces without using gpiolib will see no changes.

 Note that requesting a GPIO does NOT cause it to be configured in any
 way; it just marks that GPIO as in use.  Separate code must handle any
 pin setup (e.g. controlling which pin the GPIO uses, pullup/pulldown).
