docs/library: Document new esp32.RMT features and fix wait_done.

Add new API for specifying the idle level and TX carrier output level, and
new write_pulses modes of operation.  Also fix wait_done documentation
which was inverted and wrong about timing.

channels (0-7) and each can have a different clock divider.
To enable the carrier frequency feature of the esp32 hardware, specify the
``carrier_freq`` as something like 38000, a typical IR carrier frequency.
So, in the example above, the 80MHz clock is divided by 8. Thus the
resolution is (1/(80Mhz/8)) 100ns. Since the ``start`` level is 0 and toggles
with each number, the bitstream is ``0101`` with durations of [100ns, 2000ns,

This class provides access to one of the eight RMT channels. *channel* is
required and identifies which RMT channel (0-7) will be configured. *pin*,
also required, configures which Pin is bound to the RMT channel. *clock_div*

channel allowing the resolution to be specified. *idle_level* specifies
what level the output will be when no transmission is in progress and can
be any value that converts to a boolean, with ``True`` representing high
voltage and ``False`` representing low.
To enable the transmission carrier feature, *tx_carrier* should be a tuple
of three positive integers: carrier frequency, duty percent (``0`` to
``100``) and the output level to apply the carrier to (a boolean as per
*idle_level*).

Return the clock divider. Note that the channel resolution is
``1 / (source_freq / clock_div)``.
.. method:: RMT.wait_done(timeout=0)
.. method:: RMT.wait_done(*, timeout=0)
Returns ``True`` if the channel is currently transmitting a stream of pulses
started with a call to `RMT.write_pulses`.
If *timeout* (defined in ticks of ``source_freq / clock_div``) is specified
the method will wait for *timeout* or until transmission is complete,
returning ``False`` if the channel continues to transmit. If looping is
enabled with `RMT.loop` and a stream has started, then this method will
always (wait and) return ``False``.
Returns ``True`` if the channel is idle or ``False`` if a sequence of
pulses started with `RMT.write_pulses` is being transmitted. If the
*timeout* keyword argument is given then block for up to this many
milliseconds for transmission to complete.
.. method:: RMT.loop(enable_loop)
Configure looping on the channel. *enable_loop* is bool, set to ``True`` to
enable looping on the *next* call to `RMT.write_pulses`. If called with
``False`` while a looping stream is currently being transmitted then the
current set of pulses will be completed before transmission stops.
``False`` while a looping sequence is currently being transmitted then the
current loop iteration will be completed and then transmission will stop.
.. method:: RMT.write_pulses(pulses, start)
.. method:: RMT.write_pulses(duration, data=True)
Begin sending *pulses*, a list or tuple defining the stream of pulses. The
length of each pulse is defined by a number to be multiplied by the channel
resolution ``(1 / (source_freq / clock_div))``. *start* defines whether the
stream starts at 0 or 1.
Begin transmitting a sequence. There are three ways to specify this:
If transmission of a stream is currently in progress then this method will
block until transmission of that stream has ended before beginning sending
*pulses*.
**Mode 1:** *duration* is a list or tuple of durations. The optional *data*
argument specifies the initial output level. The output level will toggle
after each duration.
If looping is enabled with `RMT.loop`, the stream of pulses will be repeated
indefinitely. Further calls to `RMT.write_pulses` will end the previous
stream - blocking until the last set of pulses has been transmitted -
before starting the next stream.
**Mode 2:** *duration* is a positive integer and *data* is a list or tuple
of output levels. *duration* specifies a fixed duration for each.
**Mode 3:** *duration* and *data* are lists or tuples of equal length,
specifying individual durations and the output level for each.
Durations are in integer units of the channel resolution (as described
above), between 1 and 32767 units. Output levels are any value that can
be converted to a boolean, with ``True`` representing high voltage and
``False`` representing low.
If transmission of an earlier sequence is in progress then this method will
block until that transmission is complete before beginning the new sequence.
If looping has been enabled with `RMT.loop`, the sequence will be
repeated indefinitely. Further calls to this method will block until the
end of the current loop iteration before immediately beginning to loop the
new sequence of pulses. Looping sequences longer than 126 pulses is not
supported by the hardware.
