MicroPython currently runs on core 0 of the esp32. Calling
rmt_driver_install will mean that the RMT interrupt handler is also
serviced on core 0. This can lead to glitches in the RMT output if
WiFi is enabled (for esp32.RMT and machine.bitstream).
This patch calls rmt_driver_install on core 1, ensuring that the RMT
interrupt handler is serviced on core 1. This prevents glitches.
Fixes issue #8161.

This change allows specification of the idle level and TX carrier output
level (through changed initialisation API), and more flexible specification
of pulses for write_pulses.
This is a breaking change for the esp32.RMT constructor API. Previous code
of this form:
esp32.RMT(..., carrier_duty_percent=D, carrier_freq=F)
will now raise an exception and should be changed to:
esp32.RMT(..., tx_carrier=(F, D, 1))
When looping, now disable the TX interrupt after calling rmt_write_items()
function to handle change in IDF behaviour (since v4.1). Also check length
of pulses to ensure it fits hardware limit.
Fixes issue #7403.
A previous commit 3a9d948032 can cause
lock-ups of the RMT driver, so this commit reverses that, adds a loop_en
flag, and explicitly controls the TX interrupt in write_pulses(). This
provides correct looping, non-blocking writes and sensible behaviour for
wait_done().
See also #6167.
Otherwise the RMT will repeat pulses when using loop(True). This repeating
is due to a bug in the IDF which will be fixed in an upcoming release, but
for now the accepted workaround is to swap these calls, which should still
work in the fixed version of the IDF.
Fixes issue #6167.
The ESP32 RMT peripheral has hardware support for a carrier frequency, and
this commit exposes it to Python with the keyword arguments carrier_freq
and carrier_duty_percent in the constructor. Example usage:
r = esp32.RMT(0, pin=Pin(2), clock_div=80, carrier_freq=38000, carrier_duty_percent=50)
This commit consolidates a number of check_esp_err functions that check
whether an ESP-IDF return code is OK and raises an exception if not. The
exception raised is an OSError with the error code as the first argument
(negative if it's ESP-IDF specific) and the ESP-IDF error string as the
second argument.
This commit also fixes esp32.Partition.set_boot to use check_esp_err, and
uses that function for a unit test.
