Add retry support to I2CInterface

Enhance the I2CInterface class hierarchy to support retrying failed I2C
operations.

Add an optional parameter to i2c::create() to specify the maximum number
of retries to perform for an I2C operation. Default to 0 retries so
that existing code will not be affected.

Testing:
* Tested each modified function
* When I2C operation succeeds
* When I2C operation fails
* When no retries are done
* When retries are done
* When retried operation succeeds
* When retried operation fails
* See complete test plan at

Create libi2c_dev_mock.a to solve linker errors

The i2c::create() function is currently defined in
mocked_i2c_interface.hpp. This causes linker errors if that header file
is included by multiple .cpp files in the same test executable.

Moved i2c::create() to mocked_i2c_interface.cpp so that it is only
defined once. Created the static library libi2c_dev_mock.a that
contains mocked_i2c_interface.o.

Test executables that need the mock version of i2c::create() should link
with libi2c_dev_mock.a.

Normal executables that need the real version of i2c::create() should
link with libi2c_dev.a as before. This has not changed.
