stm32/boards/make-pins.py: Allow a CPU pin to be hidden.

This change allows a CPU pin to be hidden from the user by prefixing it
with a "-" in the pins.csv file for a board.  It will still be available in
C code, just not exposed to Python.

-"""Creates the pin file for the STM32F4xx."""

+"""
+Generates pin source files based on an MCU alternate-function definition (eg
+stm32f405_af.csv) and a board-specific pin definition file, pins.csv.
+
+The pins.csv file must contain lines of the form:
+
+    board,cpu
+
+Where "board" is the user-facing name of the pin as specified by the particular
+board layout and markings, and "cpu" is the corresponding name of the CPU/MCU
+pin.
+
+The "board" entry may be absent if the CPU pin has no additional name, and both
+entries may start with "-" to hide them from the corresponding Python dict of
+pins, and hence hide them from the user (but they are still accessible in C).
+
+For example, take the following pins.csv file:
+
+    X1,PA0
+    -X2,PA1
+    X3,-PA2
+    -X4,-PA3
+    ,PA4
+    ,-PA5
+
+The first row here configures:
+- The CPU pin PA0 is labelled X1.
+- The Python user can access both by the names Pin("X1") and Pin("A0").
+- The Python user can access both by the members Pin.board.X1 and Pin.cpu.A0.
+- In C code they are available as pyb_pin_X1 and pin_A0.
+
+Prefixing the names with "-" hides them from the user.  The following table
+summarises the various possibilities:
+
+    pins.csv entry | board name | cpu name | C board name | C cpu name
+    ---------------+------------+----------+--------------+-----------
+    X1,PA0           "X1"         "A0"       pyb_pin_X1     pin_A0
+    -X2,PA1          -            "A1"       pyb_pin_X2     pin_A1
+    X3,-PA2          "X3"         -          pyb_pin_X3     pin_A2
+    -X4,-PA3         -            -          pyb_pin_X4     pin_A3
+    ,PA4             -            "A4"       -              pin_A4
+    ,-PA5            -            -          -              pin_A5
