Add initial support for INA260 power monitor with integrated shunt.
Registers are different from other INA2xx devices, that's why a small
translation table is used.

I think the chip is sufficiently different to other chips that a separate
driver would make much more sense than adding support to the existing driver.
There is no calibration, registers are different, the retry logic is
not needed. A new driver could use the with_info API and would be much
simpler while at the same time not messing up the existing driver.
