Peter A. Bigot f05cbb421d drivers: sensor: mcp9808: fix various problems and improve test
Correct handling of device encoded temperature values, which combine a
12-bit 2s complement signed value with a separate sign bit.  Rework
conversion between device and sensor temperature representations to
support negative temperatures in both domains.

Use a much simpler trigger configuration where the alert is driven by
comparator output, rather than as an interrupt that requires a pair of
I2C transactions to read and clear the flag.

Refactor the trigger infrastructure to use the setup/handle/process
idiom, which reduces duplicated code and to correctly detect alerts
present when the triggers are set.

Completely replace the sample with something that demonstrates
updating upper and lower threshold values to track moving
temperatures.

MCP9808 Temperature Sensor
##########################
Overview
********
This sample application periodically (0.5 Hz) measures the ambient
temperature. The result is written to the console.
If triggered measurements are enabled the sample initializes and
maintains a |plusminus| 2 |deg| C window around the current temperature.
When the temperature moves outside the window an alert is given, and the
window is moved to center on the new temperature.
Requirements
************
The MCP9808 digital temperature sensor converts temperatures between -20 |deg|
C and +100 |deg| C to a digital word with |plusminus| 0.5 |deg| C (max.)
accuracy. It is I2C compatible and supports up to 16 devices on the bus.
Wiring
*******
The MCP9808 is available in a discrete component form but it is much easier to
use it mounted on a breakout board. We used the Adafruit `MCP9808
Sensor`_ breakout board.

Building and Running
********************
After providing a devicetree overlay that specifies the sensor I2C bus
and alert GPIO, build this sample app using:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/sensor/mcp9808
:board: particle_xenon
:goals: build flash
Sample Output
=============
Note that in the capture below output from the trigger callback and the
main thread are interleaved.
