For some SPI controllers, after each word size (specified by bits_per_word)
transimission, the hardware need some delay to make sure the slave has enough
time to receive the whole data.

So introducing one new 'word_delay' field of struct spi_tansfer for slave
devices to set this inter word delay time.
