Now that we have untangled the data-structures, split the userspace
interface out into its own module. Userspace interfaces and drivers are
registered to the KCS BMC core to support arbitrary binding of either.

Move all client-private data out of `struct kcs_bmc` into the KCS client
implementation.
With this change the KCS BMC core code now only concerns itself with
abstract `struct kcs_bmc` and `struct kcs_bmc_client` types, achieving
expected separation of concerns. Further, the change clears the path for
implementation of alternative userspace interfaces.
The chardev data-structures are rearranged in the same manner applied to
the KCS device driver data-structures in an earlier patch - `struct
kcs_bmc_client` is embedded in the client's private data and we exploit
container_of() to translate as required.
Finally, now that it is free of client data, `struct kcs_bmc` is renamed
to `struct kcs_bmc_device` to contrast `struct kcs_bmc_client`.

Strengthen the distinction between code that abstracts the
implementation of the KCS behaviours (device drivers) and code that
exploits KCS behaviours (clients). Neither needs to know about the APIs
required by the other, so provide separate headers.

Make the KCS device drivers responsible for allocating their own memory.
Until now the private data for the device driver was allocated internal
to the private data for the chardev interface. This coupling required
the slightly awkward API of passing through the struct size for the
driver private data to the chardev constructor, and then retrieving a
pointer to the driver private data from the allocated chardev memory.
In addition to being awkward, the arrangement prevents the
implementation of alternative userspace interfaces as the device driver
private data is not independent.
Peel a layer off the onion and turn the data-structures inside out by
exploiting container_of() and embedding `struct kcs_device` in the
driver private data.

Take steps towards defining a coherent API to separate the KCS device
drivers from the userspace interface. Decreasing the coupling will
improve the separation of concerns and enable the introduction of
alternative userspace interfaces.
For now, simply split the chardev logic out to a separate file. The code
continues to build into the same module.
