This commit is a fairly major piece of work that abstracts all pin
operations (function, state, edge detection, PWM, etc.) into a base
"Pin" class which is then used by input/output/composite devices to
perform all required configuration.
The idea is to pave the way for I2C based IO extenders which can present
additional GPIO ports with similar capabilities to the Pi's "native"
GPIO ports. As a bonus it also abstracts away the reliance on the
RPi.GPIO library to allow alternative pin implementations (e.g. using
RPIO to take advantage of DMA based PWM), or even pure Python
implementations.
The prototypes in the docs are rigged to make out the first parameter as
mandatory (as it effectively is); however this does mean you've got to
remember to update the prototype when you modify it in the code! :)
Change parent of PWMOutputDevice to OutputDevice and implement blink to
maintain compatibility. The version of blink implemented here is
slightly extended to include functionality like Explorer HAT's "pulse".
The parameter defaults behave identically to OutputDevice's blink but
can be adjusted to have the device smoothly fade in and out.
The code is running on my Pi and seems to be stable
Have added MCP3301/3302/3304
have implemented the "M" bit to allow Differential mode
Have added an "absVal" for absolute values
Have added a "relVal" for relative val from 0 to 1 (same as "value")
left "value" for backwards compatabilety, but propse to delete it
shifted Rx bits for MCP330x

This removes the circular dependency introduced in PR#137. This also
fixes up an issue in the base meta-class which meant it wasn't working
in Python 3 (only Python 2), and adds a bit to the meta-class to allow
docstrings to be inherited (taken from the rest-docs branch).
Add forward_device and backward_device to Motor, left_motor and
right_motor to Robot, and ensure all CompositeDevice descendents have a
proper close() method and closed property. Also, add a few more
_check_open calls around the place to make sure GPIODeviceClosed is
properly raised in response to read and writing values.
Permit built-in (C implemented) methods and functions to be used as
event callbacks. Given that prototype introspection is not available for
such routines, assume that they take no (mandatory) parameters.
This finishes off implementing values and source for all (current)
classes in gpiozero. I'm afraid things get rather complex in this
commit. For starters, we've now got quite a few "aggregate" classes
which necessarily don't descend from GPIODevice. To implement values and
source on these I could either repeat a helluva lot of code or ... turn
to mixin classes. Yeah, it's multiple inheritance time, baby!
Unfortunately multiple inheritance doesn't work with __slots__ but we
really ought to keep functionality that they provide us (raise
AttributeError when an unknown attribute is set). So I've implemented
this with ... erm ... metaclasses. Sorry!
