Add new types for TLV dB scale specified with min/max values instead
of min/step since the resolution can't match always with the one
a device provides. For example, usb audio devices give 1/256 dB
resolution while ALSA TLV is based on 1/100 dB resolution.
The new min/max types have less problems because the possible
rounding error happens only at min/max.

Added snd_ctl_add_slave_uncached() function to add a slave element
with volatile controls. The values of normal slave elements are
supposed to be cachable, i.e. they are changed only via the put
callbacks. OTOH, when a slave element is volatile and its values may
be changed by other reason (e.g. hardware status change), the values
will get inconsistent.
The new function allows the slave elements with volatile changes.
When the slave is tied with this call, the native get callback is
issued at each time so that the values are always updated.

Use a private array for TLV entries of virtual master controls instead
of (supposed) static array. This cleans up the existing codes.
Also, now vmaster assumes the simple dB-range TLV that is the only type
it can handle.

Move the codes for virtual master controls to sound core part so that
not only hda-intel drivers can use it.
