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.

Detection
---------
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.
