chipmisc: Add support for configuring ad5206 digipots

Support an "ad5206" config section so that one can configure the
digipots found on Reprap "RAMBo" boards.

+#   The value to statically set the given AD5206 channel to. This is
+#   typically set to a number between 0.0 and 1.0 with 1.0 being the
+#   highest resistance and 0.0 being the lowest resistance. However,
+#   the range may be changed with the 'scale' parameter (see

+#scale:
+#   This parameter can be used to alter how the 'channel_x' parameters
+#   are interpreted. If provided, then the 'channel_x' parameters
+#   should be between 0.0 and 'scale'. This may be useful when the
+#   AD5206 is used to set stepper voltage references. The 'scale' can
+#   be set to the equivalent stepper amperage if the AD5206 were at
+#   its highest resistance, and then the 'channel_x' parameters can be
+#   specified using the desired amperage value for the stepper. The
+#   default is to not scale the 'channel_x' parameters.
