rp2/rp2_pio: Add StateMachine restart,rx_fifo,tx_fifo helper functions.
StateMachine.restart: Restarts the state machine StateMachine.rx_fifo: Return the number of RX FIFO items, 0 if empty StateMachine.tx_fifo: Return the number of TX FIFO items, 0 if empty restart() seems to be the most useful one, as it resets the state machine to the initial state without the need to re-initialise/re-create. It also makes PIO code easier, because then stalling as an error state can be unlocked. rx_fifo() is also useful, for MP code to check for data and timeout if no data arrived. Complex logic is easier handled in Python code than in PIO code. tx_fifo() can be useful to check states where data is not processed, and is mostly for symmetry.
