auxdisplay: charlcd: Extract character LCD core from misc/panel

Extract the character LCD core from the Parallel port LCD/Keypad Panel driver in the misc subsystem, and convert it into a subdriver in the auxdisplay subsystem. This allows the character LCD core to be used by other drivers later. Compilation is controlled by its own Kconfig symbol CHARLCD, which is to be selected by its users, but can be enabled manually for compile-testing. All functions changed their prefix from "lcd_" to "charlcd_", and gained a "struct charlcd *" parameter to operate on a specific instance. While the driver API thus is ready to support multiple instances, the current limitation of a single display (/dev/lcd has a single misc minor assigned) is retained. No functional changes intended.
