genirq: record trigger type

Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ,
although some irq_chip support has done so.  That data can be useful when
troubleshooting.  This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status
bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls
affected:

 - Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage:
    * IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods
      won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong).
    * IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers
      might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code.
    * emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code)

 - Their kerneldoc now reflects usage:
    * request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify
      active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that
    * set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers
      should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there

Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the
requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.
