i2c: Convert the pca9539 driver to a new-style i2c driver
The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver.
Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get
the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these
devices can't be detected anyway.
Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated
in favor of gpio/pca953x.

+The PCA9539 is difficult to detect and not commonly found in PC machines,
+so you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCA9539
+devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the force=... parameter.
