Document new playback-only and capture-only flags which can be used when
dai link can only support just one direction: playback or capture but
not both.

You can see cases where people just don't connect some of the signals
for whatever reason so even if the two devices could do bidrectional
audio the board can't, and there are also cases like the at91sam9g20ek
where the DAI is connected for bidrectional audio but there's not
actually any audio inputs you can connect (even loopbacks) for one of
the directions so it's best to just mask things out from the user.
