This is mostly for convenience, so that user code doesn't
need to add additional checks.
Also, bring the bitbangio into compatibility with busio wrt. empty

buffer from start, end and length. The old code miscomputed length

Consolidating the code should make it easier to get right everywhere.
This was done to allow greatly granularity when deciding what functionality
