Subject: [PATCH v2] i2c: do not enable fall back to Host Notify by default

Falling back unconditionally to HostNotify as primary client's interrupt
breaks some drivers which alter their functionality depending on whether
interrupt is present or not, so let's introduce a board flag telling I2C
core explicitly if we want wired interrupt or HostNotify-based one:
I2C_CLIENT_HOST_NOTIFY.

For DT-based systems we introduce "host-notify" property that we convert
to I2C_CLIENT_HOST_NOTIFY board flag.

v1->v2:

- of_read_property_bool -> of_property_read_bool
- did not change binding wording to avoit mentioning I2C core because we
  use the same wording (mentioning I2C core) for wired interrupts

 Also, if device is marked as a wakeup source, I2C core will set up "wakeup"
 interrupt for the device. If "wakeup" interrupt name is not present in the
 binding, then primary interrupt will be used as wakeup interrupt.
