Add the capability to use multiple codecs on the same DAI linke where
one codec is used for playback and another one is used for capture.

Tested on a setup using an SSM2518 for playback and an ICS43432 I2S MEMS
microphone for capture.

No verification is made that the playback and capture codec setups are
compatible in terms of number of TDM slots (where applicable).

V3: Updated commit message regarding the fact that the patch does not 
consider the slot setup in a TDM system with separate capture and playback 
codecs, after a comment from Pierre-Louis Bossart. Such a setup was not 
supported anyway before this patch, so let's handle that situation when 
and if it arises.

V2: Minor code change, otherwise the differences compared to V1 are solely
related to comments, in particular considerations given to the 
potential consequences of the patch. After consideration, it seems to me 
that the patch as it stands augments the current framework with the 
functionality indicated in the commit message above, without restricting 
other current uses. Further functionality could be added, but IMHO that 
should be done as the need arises, when it can be properly tested in a 
real-world setup.

The patch was created after a discussion on the alsa-devel mailing list
as to how best to implement this functionality.
