dt-bindings: dma: add alternative REQ/ACK protocol selection in stm32-dma

Default REQ/ACK protocol consists in maintaining ACK signal up to the
removal of REQuest and the transfer completion.
In case of alternative REQ/ACK protocol, ACK de-assertion does not wait the
removal of the REQuest, but only the transfer completion.
Due to a possible DMA stream lock when transferring data to/from STM32
USART/UART, this new bindings allow to select this alternative protocol in
device tree, especially for STM32 USART/UART nodes.

0x0: FIFO mode with threshold selectable with bit 0-1
0x1: Direct mode: each DMA request immediately initiates a transfer
from/to the memory, FIFO is bypassed.
-bit 4: alternative DMA request/acknowledge protocol
0x0: Use standard DMA ACK management, where ACK signal is maintained
up to the removal of request and transfer completion
0x1: Use alternative DMA ACK management, where ACK de-assertion does
not wait for the de-assertion of the REQuest, ACK is only managed
by transfer completion. This must only be used on channels
managing transfers for STM32 USART/UART.
