Michael Walle cd705ea857 lib: add generic polynomial calculation
Some temperature and voltage sensors use a polynomial to convert between
raw data points and actual temperature or voltage. The polynomial is
usually the result of a curve fitting of the diode characteristic.

The BT1 PVT hwmon driver already uses such a polynonmial calculation
which is rather generic. Move it to lib/ so other drivers can reuse it.
