RMT: Type-erase channels (#3980)
* RMT: add HIL test that exercises all channels

to ensure that there are no issues with channel/register indexing; see
also the code comments.

no user-facing changes

* RMT: store ch_idx instead of channel number

`ConstChannelAccess` and `DynChannelAccess` used to store the channel number
and have a `Direction` generic parameter.
However, there are invalid combinations of `Direction` and the channel
number on some chips (e.g. on esp32c3, there is no channel with (Tx, 2),
because channel 2 and 3 only support Rx).

In constrast, the tuple `(Dir, ch_idx)` also uniquely identifies a
channel and its configuration, and any combination of it is valid as long as the
channel index is in bounds.

This makes it somewhat easier to work with; in particular, it will allow
removing bounds checks on ch_idx in a later commit by replacing
`ch_idx: u8` with an enum type.

This also refactors the `async_interrupt_handler` accordingly.

This is user-visible via the `ConstChannelAccess` type, however a later
commit in this PR will remove that entirely.

* RMT: elide bounds checks via ChannelIndex enum

If the channel index is not known at compile time in a given function,
the compiler will insert bounds checks on

- indexing the STATE global
- register access via the PAC

The compiler seems to be able to deduplicate them since low-level
functions are mostly inlined, but each function will retain at least one
bounds check.

This change helps the compiler to elide these checks by using a custom
type for channel indices that can only take values for which a channel
exists.
Specifically, this uses an enum to serve as a refinement of u8 to help
the compiler restrict value ranges. Due to inlining, this restricted
value range is propagated by the compiler until the potential bounds checks,
even if there's intermediate cast to u8,
cf. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/109958

There are no user-facing changes. (`ChannelIndex` is `pub` because it
appears in a `[doc(hidden)]` trait member.)

* RMT: always type-erase channels

- remove the `Raw` generic on `Channel`: This simplifies the types,
  should have negligible performance impact (helped by elided bounds
  checks via the recently introduced `ChannelIndex` enum), and greatly
  reduce code size if several channels are used (by avoiding
  monomorphization per channel)

- this also changed the arguments to configure_(tx,rx)_channel such that
  they don't contain generics, again avoiding code bloat due to
  monomorphization

This requires user code to change type annotations for channels and
transactions, and remove any manual type erasure (via `channel.degrade()`).

* RMT: impl blocking tx/rx methods directly on Channel

There's now only a single type that should implement these methods due
to erasing the channel index const generic, so the indirection via a
trait serves no purpose. Implementing methods directly on the channel
probably also helps to make the docs more discoverable.

This requires user code to remove the `TxChannel` and `RxChannel`
imports.

* RMT: impl async tx/rx methods directly on Channel

There's now only a single type that should implement these methods due
to erasing the channel index const generic, so the indirection via a
trait serves no purpose. Implementing methods directly on the channel
probably also helps to make the docs more discoverable.

This requires user code to remove the `TxChannelAsync` and `RxChannelAsync`
imports.

* RMT: impl *ChannelInternal traits only on DynChannelAccess

rather than as a blanket impl for RawChannelAccess, which includes
ConstChannelAccess: We don't intend to perform any accesses via
ConstChannelAccess anymore, so enforce that.
We could also get rid of the traits entirely and directly impl their
methods for DynChannelAccess, but it seems somewhat useful to keep them
around to guarantee that the interfaces in both chip_specific modules
are consistent.

There are no user-facing changes here.

* RMT: remove `pub` on various internal types

that used to be visible somewhere in the API's trait bounds, but are not
part of the API themselves

This is user-visible, but user code should not have used these types in
the first place.

* RMT: rm ConstChannelAccess, RawChannelAccess, private DynChannelAccess

now that Channel has no `Raw: RawChannelAccess` type parameter:

- we don't need low-level channel methods to be implemented for
  ConstChannelAccess, since all accesses go through DynChannelAccess.
  Thus, remove the *ChannelInternal traits and implement their methods directly
  on DynChannelAccess
- none of these types need to be public (although one might consider
  actually making them public with an unsafe constructor to provide an
  unsafe low-level interface to the hardware)

This is user-visible (imports need to be removed; they're not used
anymore since the previous commit that always type-erased the `Raw`
parameter of `Channel`)

* RMT: changelog and migration guide for type-erased channels

* RMT: (review) remove stray comment

* RMT: (review) remove is_tx() from Direction trait

we can simply use the const item directly
