Generic Pin Type about esp-hal

[jrmoulton]

Ok. I'll work on implementing it

There no specific reason other than "nobody did it, yet"

I was thinking about this last week briefly (didn't get around to starting on it) but at the time I wasn't sure how to handle the banked GPIO access. Different GPIO require different registers to be read/written depending on which bank they're on, so we may need to do some runtime checks to accomplish this, unless you can come up with something clever 😁

@jrmoulton I'm happy to collaborate on this if you need any help, just let me know.

Just a heads up, I'm pretty deep into a fairly extensive rework of the GPIO module, and I have a generic pin type in this work. Hoping to PR something next week.

Good to know. I tried several different clever things and none of them worked so this is good to hear
