Add output-enable generic pin configuration property.
This properties allows enabling/disabling pin's output capabilities
without actually driving any value on the line.

I have applied the patch adding a few elaborations in the binding that
the situation where you may use this is typically when enabling/disabling
input or output buffers irrespective of the mode of the line as a whole.

We might need even more documentation because this is really
confusing.

But for now it lets drivers work, which is nice.

Rough consensus and running code should be our guide.

At least this looks much better than odd bi-directional thingy.
Thanks!
