This follows the pattern of other peripherals (I2C, SPI) to specify the
pins using pin objects instead of a pair of GPIO port and pin number. It
makes it easier to customise the UART pins for a particular board.
USB CDC no longer needs TIM3 (which was originally used for LED(4) PWM)
and so TIM3 has been freed for general purpose use by the user. Hence
LED(4) lost its PWM capabilities.
This patch reinstates the PWM capabilities using a semi-generic piece
of code which allows to configure a timer and PWM channel to use for any
LED. But the PWM capability is only configured if the LED is set to an
intensity between 1 and 254 (ie only when needed). In that case the
relevant timer is configured for PWM. It's up to the user to make sure
the timers are not used if PWM is active.
This patch also makes sure that PWM LEDs are turned off using standard
GPIO when calling led.off() or led.intensity(0), instead of just setting
the PWM counter to zero.
Previously, SPI was configured by a board defining MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_SPIx
to 0 or 1. Now, the board should define MICROPY_HW_SPIx_SCK, MISO, MOSI
and NSS. This makes it the same as how I2C is configured.
