Some minor updates for the UP board support, and also a proposed change to the pin matching scheme for AIO channels.

Some details regarding the UP board are not in-sync with the
final production version of the board.  This update adds an
ADC, removes a UART, and some corrections in the docs for UP.

The current approach used to look up the pin for an AIO channel
assumes that the AIO pins are positioned sequentially in the pins
array immediately after the GPIO pins.  This works for Arduino-style
boards, but doesn't port well to other boards where ADC pins may be
scattered around the pin array and providing GPIO functionality as
well.

This commit introduces a different approach by instead searching
the pin array for ADC-capable pins, and infers their AIO channel
numbers from the order in which they appear in the pin array.

This should still work for boards such as Galileo and Edison, and
while also supporting boards such as the UP board where the ADC
pin appears at an arbitrary position in the pin array.

Merged the first part, going to test the second part quickly. I may just add an aio property channel in the mraa_board_t def.

Any updates? Will this ever be merged?

@cstatz it looks like the first commit here "update UP board hardware details and enable ADC" was merged after a few minor changes. However, the second commit wasn't merged. @Propanu @pylbert could either of you please check/approve this commit real quick, I will merge it then.

In theory this looks good and should work OK. I remember reviewing it when it was submitted and I liked the idea of not forcing ADC pins past GPIOs, which, as Dan mentioned, is a big limitation for many boards that have ADC pins spread around a multi-function low speed I/O header. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the legacy boards handy to test this further.

There's a conflict applying db49113. Can anyone shed a bit of light on which lines to keep (or provide an updated PR).
