i2c: core: Add support for best effort block read emulation
There are devices that need to handle block transactions regardless of the capabilities exported by the adapter. For performance reasons, they need to use i2c read blocks if available, otherwise emulate the block transaction with word or byte transactions. Add support for a helper function that would read a data block using the best transfer available: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA or I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA.
