Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_THRESH and _PERIOD

The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by
tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of
steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only
if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only
if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when
the user starts moving.

A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L:
http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf.

To export this feature, this patch introduces
IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_THRESH and IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_PERIOD.
For the pedometer, in_steps_filter_outlier_thresh will specify the number of
steps that need to occur in in_steps_filter_outlier_period seconds so that
the pedometer decides the user is moving.
