libata-link: introduce ata_link

Introduce ata_link.  It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and
ata_device.  This new level of abstraction is necessary to support
SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to
a ATA host port.  Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and
EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link.

This patch only defines the host link.  Multiple link handling will be
added later.  Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of
them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with
ata_link instead of ata_port.

This patch introduces no behavior change.
