Feature Request: support TMC2240 as a temperature_sensor vs temperature_monitor #774

Description

@ccatlett1984

The TMC2240 has temperature monitoring, the downside it that it only sends temperature data when the motors are enabled.
Which for temperature monitoring of the drivers, is satisfactory.

Here is a PR from mainline Klipper with some of the discussion:
Klipper3d/klipper#6210

TLDR; Mainline Dev's dont want to add it, as it would be a "special snowflake" since no other sensor is allowed to send a "null" value.
It would be great to control cooling for the drivers directly, without adding additional temperature probes.
