tools: iio: convert iio_generic_buffer to use new IIO buffer API

This change makes use of the new IIO buffer API to read data from an IIO
buffer.
It doesn't read the /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/scan_elements dir
anymore, it reads /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY, where all the
scan_elements have been merged together with the old/classical buffer
attributes.

And it makes use of the new IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL ioctl to get an FD for
the IIO buffer for which to read data from.
It also does a quick sanity check to see that -EBUSY is returned if reading
the chardev after the ioctl() has succeeded.

This was tested with the following cases:
 1. Tested buffer0 works with ioctl()
 2. Tested that buffer0 can't be opened via /dev/iio:deviceX after ioctl()
    This check should be omitted under normal operation; it's being done
    here to check that the driver change is sane
 3. Moved valid buffer0 to be buffer1, and tested that data comes from it
