    gpio: Add support for binary_first base3 number system
    
    This patch adds support for an alternative ternary number system which a
    group of GPIOs can be interpreted in. In this system, the digit
    combinations that would form a binary number (i.e. that contain no 'Z'
    state) come first in their normal binary order, and all the combinations
    that do contain a 'Z' come afterwards. We can use this for boards that
    originally get strapped with binary board IDs but eventually require
    more revisions than that representation allows. We can switch their code
    to binary_first base3 and all old revisions with already produced boards
    will still get read as the correct numbers.
    
    Credit for the algorithm idea goes to Haran Talmon.
    
    BRANCH=None
    BUG=None
    TEST=Stubbed out the actual GPIO reading and simulated all combinations
    of 4 ternary digits for both number systems.
