dt-bindings: iio: Introduce common properties for iio sensors

Introduce a file for common properties of iio sensors. So far this
contains the new proximity-near-level property for proximity sensors
that indicates when an object should be considered near.

+description: |
+  This document defines device tree properties common to several iio
+  sensors. It doesn't constitue a device tree binding specification by itself but
+  is meant to be referenced by device tree bindings.
+
+  When referenced from sensor tree bindings the properties defined in this
+  document are defined as follows. The sensor tree bindings are responsible for
+  defining whether each property is required or optional.

+    description: |
+      For proximity sensors whether an object can be considered near to the
+      device depends on parameters like sensor position, covering glass and
+      aperture. This value gives an indication to userspace for which
+      sensor readings this is the case.
+
+      Raw proximity values equal or above this level should be
+      considered 'near' to the device (an object is near to the
+      sensor).
