spi-gpio: allow operation without CS signal

Browse source 
Change spi-gpio so that it is possible to drive SPI communications over
GPIO without the need for a chipselect signal.

This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device
on the bus.

This patch does not affect existing setups.

I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and
a microcontroller.  There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect
and it's not needed anyway in this case.
