this allows a bus connection and device type tuple to be identifed as
a 24 bit number for use in user visible device IDs. Every bus
connection has a unique device ID.
By opening with O_CLOEXEC we make sure we don't leak the file descriptor
when we are exec'ing or calling out subprograms. Right now we currently
don't do it so there's no harm, but it's good practice in Linux to have
it.

We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
The definitions for each board haven't been reformatted here. They need a
little more thinking on how to format them in order to provide better
readability.
Sometimes (like in DataFlash) the size of the ring buffer will be
determined in run time and the object can have size zero until proper
initialization. When this was the case, an underflow in ::get_size would
mess with the initializing algorithm.
Another issue was that the 'new' operator could fail what was not being
handled. Now, we only set the size member after we are sure 'new'
successfully allocated memory.
Replace the previous not-implemented interface with a set of new methods
that can be resonably implemented:
- register_periodic_callback() now receives a functor returning bool
to easily allow "oneshot" timers
- adjust_periodic_callback() allows the caller to change the timer
for a specific handle. This way drivers like MS5611 can adjust the
timer depending on its state machine: the time to sample
temperature is smaller than the time to get a pressure sample
- add unregister_callback(): since we have an opaque pointer, we
can't tell the user to just delete it in order to unregister the
callback
This method is needed when we want to transfer both tx and rx at the
same time, as opposed to common cases for sensors in which they are like
in the I2C interface: half-duplex.
