Fixes a8293 failure to raise LNB voltage in PCTV 461e DVB-S2 Stick
affecting multiple users over several years as found here:

https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/3731

Caused by vIN undervoltage lockout (status register bit 7) when raising LNB to 18V.
Addressed by using the higher-precision voltages available on the a8293 to gradually
increase (slew) the voltage when voltage increases are requested.

Adds volt_slew_nanos_per_mv to a8293_platform_data struct for specifying slew rate.
If value is <1 or non-sane (>1600), the original no-slew version for a8293_set_voltage is used.
