iio: core: Introduce _zeropoint for differential channels


Address an ABI gap for device where the offset of both lines in a
differential pair may be controlled so as to allow a wider range of
inputs, but without having any direct effect of the differential
measurement.

_offset cannot be used as to remain in line with existing usage,
userspace would be expected to apply it as (_raw + _offset) * _scale
whereas _zeropoint is not. i.e. If we were computing the differential
in software it would be.
((postive_raw + _zeropoint) - (negative_raw + zeropoint) + _offset) * _scale
= ((postive_raw - negative_raw) + _offset) * _scale
= (differential_raw + _offset) * _scale

Similarly calibbias is expected to tweak the measurement seen, not
the adjust the two lines of the differential pair.

Needed for in_capacitanceX-capacitanceY_zeropoint for the
AD7746 CDC driver.
