hwmon: lis3: use block read to access data registers

Add optional blockread function to interface driver. If available
the chip driver uses it for data register access. For 12 bit device
it reads 6 bytes to get 3*16bit data. For 8 bit device it reads out
5 bytes since every second byte is dummy.
This optimizes bus usage and reduces number of operations and
interrupts needed for one data update.
