Lilygo T-LoRa-Pager support

[emericklaw]

Proposed Changes

Add support for the Lilygo T-LoRa-Pager.

Device Features

• QSPI Flash/PSRAM
• GPIO Expander
  • Needs converting to the way Bruce already implements IO Expanders using io_expander ioExpander
• SD Card
• Battery Charger/Gauge
• Keyboard + backlight
  • Settings to vary brightness? At the moment it uses the same level as the screen
• Haptic feedback (startup, keyboard and encoder)
  • Settings to switch off?
• GPS
• NFC
• Audio (Speaker and Mic (ES8311) - no libs available, there is an espressif component that Lilygo uses)
• Expansion Port
  • Tested with:
    • NRF24
    • CC1101
• LoRa
• Accelerometer

Types of Changes

New device

Library changes
Reworked the changes made to the Adafruit library by rennancockles - https://github.com/rennancockles/PN532/
This was needed since this library included coded from the Adafruit BusIO library but with modifications. The latest Adafruit library was needed to stop the T-LoRa-Pager from boot looping when the I2C keyboard was initialised.

The BusIO changes were merged into https://github.com/emericklaw/Adafruit-BusIO_Bruce
The PN532 changes were merged into https://github.com/emericklaw/Adafruit-PN532_Bruce

GPS Serial Port
I have updated the GPS code to use different TX/RX pins (GPS_SERIAL_TX/RX) since the T-LoRa-Pager has multiple UARTS one for GPS and one for expansion port - precompiler_flags.h takes care of the mapping if not defined to the standard GROVE_SDA/SCL pins.

CURRENT_YEAR for GPS
Now updated a build time to the current year.

mykeyboard.cpp
Since the T-LoRa-Pager has both a keyboard and encoder I had to make minor alterations to the order of the code.
Also allow both encoder and keyboard to be active at the same time, this is because the T-LoRa-Pager keyboard has a limited range of symbols and the encoder needs to be able to move through the on screen keyboard to select.
