Jeff Epler 489163b74e mimxrt1011: pwmio: Enable basic PWMOut functionality
After this change, the following program works for me on the MIMXRT1010-EVK:
```python
import pwmio
import board

p = pwmio.PWMOut(board.D13, frequency=1_000_000, variable_frequency=True)
p.duty_cycle = 32868

while True:
    pass
```

Querying and varying the duty_cycle and frequency work as well.

The lowest frequency obtainable is about 2kHz; there is an additional
divider which would allow lower PWM frequencies (I think 1kHz is important
for servos?)

Something odd happens with very low duty cycles, such as
```python
>>> p.frequency = 2000
>>> p.duty_cycle = 2
```
instead of a symmetrical waveform, it's asymmetrical.  With `duty_cycle=4`,
the effect disappears.  The reason for this is probably hidden in the
datasheet, but could affect servos or other things that count pulse
widths.

Split pulseio.PWMOut into pwmio
This gives us better granularity when implementing new ports because
PWMOut is commonly implemented before PulseIn and PulseOut.

Fixes #3211
