Damien George 03eae48847 extmod/machine_adc_block: Factor esp32 ADCBlock bindings to common code.
This is a code factoring to have the Python bindings in one location, and
all the ports use those same bindings.  At this stage only esp32 implements
this class, so the code for the bindings comes from that port.

The documentation is also updated to reflect the esp32's behaviour of
ADCBlock.connect().

class ADCBlock -- control ADC peripherals
=========================================
The ADCBlock class provides access to an ADC peripheral which has a
number of channels that can be used to sample analog values. It allows
finer control over configuration of :ref:`machine.ADC <machine.ADC>`
objects, which do the actual sampling.
This class is not always available.
Example usage::
from machine import ADCBlock
block = ADCBlock(id, bits=12) # create an ADCBlock with 12-bit resolution
adc = block.connect(4, pin) # connect channel 4 to the given pin
val = adc.read_uv() # read an analog value
Constructors
------------
.. class:: ADCBlock(id, *, bits)
Access the ADC peripheral identified by *id*, which may be an integer
or string.
The *bits* argument, if given, sets the resolution in bits of the
conversion process. If not specified then the previous or default
resolution is used.
Methods
-------
.. method:: ADCBlock.init(*, bits)
Configure the ADC peripheral. *bits* will set the resolution of the
conversion process.
.. method:: ADCBlock.connect(channel, *, ...)
ADCBlock.connect(source, *, ...)
ADCBlock.connect(channel, source, *, ...)
Connect up a channel on the ADC peripheral so it is ready for sampling,
and return an :ref:`ADC <machine.ADC>` object that represents that connection.
The *channel* argument must be an integer, and *source* must be an object
(for example a :ref:`Pin <machine.Pin>`) which can be connected up for sampling.
If only *channel* is given then it is configured for sampling.
If only *source* is given then that object is connected to a default
channel ready for sampling.
If both *channel* and *source* are given then they are connected together
and made ready for sampling.
Any additional keyword arguments are used to configure the returned ADC object,
via its :meth:`init <machine.ADC.init>` method.
