WIP; Reworked HiFreq_ADC example; Closing #6832 (#6917)

Description of Change

Original code does not work (crashing) - related issue #6832 - now fixed.
Extended description to be more helpful.
Added options to modify the setup at the top of the code via constants.
Added option do plot with Arduino Serial plotter.
Even if the crashing was solved alone the ledc PWM would not output any signal.

Tests scenarios

Tested on ESP32 with oscilloscope and signal generator.

 /*
- * This is an example to read analog data at high frequency using the I2S peripheral
- * Run a wire between pins 27 & 32
- * The readings from the device will be 12bit (0-4096) 
- */
+  This example demonstrates I2S ADC capability to sample high frequency analog signals.
+  The PWM signal generated with ledc is only for ease of use when first trying out.
+  To sample the generated signal connect default pins 27(PWM) and 32(Sampling) together.
+  If you do not wish to generate PWM simply comment out the definition of constant GENERATE_PWM
+  Try to change the PWM_DUTY_PERCENT and see how to averaged value changes.
+
+  The maximum for I2S ADC sampling frequency is 5MHz (value 5000000), however there will be many values repeated because the real
+  sampling frequency is much lower -
+
+  By default this example will print values compatible with Arduino plotter
+  1. signal - all values
+  2. signal - averaged value
+
+  You can change the number of sample over which is the signal averaged by changing value of AVERAGE_EVERY_N_SAMPLES
+  If you comment the definition altogether the averaging will not be performed nor printed.
+
+  If you do not wish to print every value, simply comment definition of constant PRINT_ALL_VALUES
+
+  Note: ESP prints messages at startup which will pollute Arduino IDE Serial plotter legend.
+  To avoid this pollution, start the plotter after startup (op restart)
