pwm: Add a helper to prepare a new PWM state

The pwm_init_state() helper prepares a new state object containing the
current PWM state except for the polarity and period fields which are
set to the reference values (those in struct pwm_args).

This is particularly useful for PWM users who want to apply a new duty-
cycle expressed relatively to the reference period without changing the
enable state.

* This functions prepares a state that can later be tweaked and applied
* to the PWM device with pwm_apply_state(). This is a convenient function
* that first retrieves the current PWM state and the replaces the period
* and polarity fields with the reference values defined in pwm->args.
* Once the function returns, you can adjust the ->enabled and ->duty_cycle
* fields according to your needs before calling pwm_apply_state().
*
* ->duty_cycle is initially set to zero to avoid cases where the current
* ->duty_cycle value exceed the pwm_args->period one, which would trigger
* an error if the user calls pwm_apply_state() without adjusting ->duty_cycle
* first.
