Add a field to the typec_plug struct to record the number of available altmodes as well as the corresponding sysfs attribute to expose this to userspace. This allows userspace to determine whether there are any remaining alternate modes left to be registered by the kernel driver. It can begin executing any policy state machine after all available alternate modes have been registered with the connector class framework. This value is set to "-1" initially, signifying that a valid number of alternate modes haven't been set for the plug. The sysfs file remains hidden as long as the attribute value is -1. We re-use the partner attribute for number_of_alternate_modes since the usage and name is similar, and update the corresponding *_show() command to support both partner and plugs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
