Documentation: gpio: describe uAPI behaviour for unsupported config

Browse Source 
The existing uAPI documentation does not adequately describe how the kernel
handles the case where the underlying hardware or driver does not support
the requested configuration.

Add a Configuration Support section describing that behaviour to both the
v1 and v2 documentation, and better document the errors returned where the
requested configuration cannot be supported.
