Support two new half-duplex SPI implementation restrictions, for links
that talk to TX-only or RX-only devices.  (Existing half-duplex flavors
support both transfer directions, just not at the same time.)

Move spi_async() into the spi.c core, and stop inlining it.  Then make
that function perform error checks and reject messages that demand more
than the underlying controller can support.

Based on a patch from Marek Szyprowski which did this only for the
bitbanged GPIO driver.
