docs: i2c: slave-interface: return errno when handle I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED 

In case backend is not ready, ie: fail to wakeup or initialization, on
the returning of the I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED event, bus driver should
aware the backend status and might auto sending NACK on the next
incoming bytes for I2C master to retry.

there is nothing to process or return. After returning, the bus driver must
always ack the address phase. If 'ret' is zero, backend initialization or
wakeup is done and further data may be received. If 'ret' is an errno, the bus
driver should nack all incoming bytes until the next stop condition to enforce
a retry of the transmission.
