spi: core: allow defining time that cs is deasserted



For some SPI devices that support speed_hz > 1MHz the default 10 us delay
when cs_change = 1 is typically way to long and may result in poor spi bus
utilization.

This patch makes it possible to control the delay at micro or nano second
resolution on a per spi_transfer basis. It even allows an "as fast as
possible" mode with:
    xfer.cs_change_delay_unit = SPI_DELAY_UNIT_NSECS;
    xfer.cs_change_delay = 0;

The delay code is shared between delay_usecs and cs_change_delay for
consistency and reuse, so in the future this change_delay_unit could also
apply to delay_usec as well.

Note that on slower SOCs/CPU actually reaching ns deasserts on cs is not
realistic as the gpio overhead alone (without any delays added ) may
already leave cs deasserted for more than 1us - at least on a raspberry pi.
But at the very least this way we can keep it as short as possible.
