The name 'probe' (and thus 'probe group') is a relic from the times when
sigrok was mostly about logic analyzers. Nowadays we support a lot more
device types where 'probe' is not really a good term and 'channel' is
much better suited.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
This extends the session file format to contain logic data files named
either "logic-1" as before, or "logic-1-1", "logic-1-2", ...
representing chronologically ordered chunks of captured data.
The chunks are transparently concatenated together by sr_session_load().
This is a small helper function which sends the SR_DF_HEADER packet that
drivers usually emit in their hw_dev_acquisition_start() API callback.
It simplifies and shortens the hw_dev_acquisition_start() functions
quite a bit.
It also simplifies the input modules which send an SR_DF_HEADER packet, too.
This patch also automatically removes some unneeded malloc/free in some
drivers for the 'packet' and 'header' structs used for SR_DF_HEADER.
Remove the session source once we are done loading the file, otherwise we'll
spin forever in sr_session_run.

This changes the semantics of the init() call as well. That now only
initializes the driver -- an administrative affair, no hardware gets
touched during this call. It returns a standard SR_OK or SR_ERR* code.
The scan() call does a discovery run for devices it knows, and returns
the number found. It can be called at any time.
It was actually used in one way: the session file loaded abused it for
passing in the filename -- something it definitely wasn't intended for.
This now uses the proper way to pass arguments to a driver: the new
SR_HWCAP_SESSIONFILE.
The OLS driver could also use it as an indication of the serial port to
use instead of actively probing all serial ports on the system, but there
wasn't any frontend code that passed in such a parameter, making it
entirely useless. That will soon be handled differently with the new
scan() API call, regardless.
All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
