Introduce SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_{RO,RW,WO} and SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2_{RO,RW,WO}
as simplified variants of SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR and SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2 to
simplify the source code, improve readbility, and reduce the chance of
inconsistencies.

hwmon_device_register_with_info() registration API requires a
non-NULL parent device when chip is non-NULL.
This commit adds a check and documents this requirement.

Clarify that the name attribute must report a valid name, and the rules
for valid names. Also clarify that the name parameter must be provided
for all supported API functions.

The 'groups' parameter of hwmon_device_register_with_info() and
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() is only necessary if extra
non-standard attributes need to be provided. Rename the parameter
to extra_groups and clarify the documentation.

Inform the user that hwmon_device_register() is deprecated,
and suggest conversion to the newest API. Also remove
hwmon_device_register() from the kernel API documentation.
Note that hwmon_device_register() is not marked as __deprecated()
since doing so might result in build errors.

Describing chip attributes as "attributes which apply to the entire chip"
is confusing. Rephrase to "attributes which are not bound to a specific
input or output".
Also rename hwmon_chip_attr_templates[] to hwmon_chip_attrs[] to indicate
that the respective strings strings are not templates but actual attribute
names.
