[PATCH v2 01/18] gpio: uapi: define GPIO_MAX_NAME_SIZE for array sizes

[Kent Gibson]

Replace constant array sizes with a macro constant to clarify the source
of array sizes, provide a place to document any constraints on the size,
and to simplify array sizing in userspace if constructing structs
from their composite fields.

This change is not terribly important for V1, but in adding V2 more
documentation for the usage of this value is appropriate.
As it is also used with V1 it warrants a separate patch.
