iio: core: Point users of extend_name field to read_label callback

As mentioned and discussed in [1] extend_name should not be used for
full channel labels (and most drivers seem to only use it to express a
short type of a channel) as this affects sysfs filenames, while the
label name is supposed to be extracted from the *_label sysfs file
instead.  This appears to have been unclear to some drivers as
extend_name is also used when read_label is unset, achieving an initial
goal of providing sensible names in *_label sysfs files without noticing
that sysfs filenames are (negatively and likely unintentionally)
affected as well.

Point readers of iio_chan_spec::extend_name to iio_info::read_label by
mentioning deprecation and side-effects of this field.
