- Allow initializing in a static, without Forever.
- Remove ability to close, since in embedded enviromnents channels usually live forever and don't get closed.
- Remove MPSC restriction, it's MPMC now. Rename "mpsc" to "channel".
- `Sender` and `Receiver` are still available if you want to enforce a piece of code only has send/receive access, but are optional: you can send/receive directly into the Channel if you want.
Starting the sampling task prior to starting the SAADC peripheral can lead to unexpected buffer behaviour with multiple channels. We now provide an init callback at the point where the SAADC has started for the first time. This callback can be used to kick off sampling via PPI.
We also need to trigger the SAADC to start sampling the next buffer when the previous one is ended so that we do not drop samples - the major benefit of double buffering.
As a bonus we provide a calibrate method as it is recommended to use before starting up the sampling.
The example has been updated to illustrate these new features.
613: Rust stable support r=Dirbaio a=Dirbaio
This PR adds (limited) stable Rust support!
The drawbacks are:
- No `#[embassy::task]`, `#[embassy::main]`. (requires `type_alias_impl_trait`). You have to manually allocate the tasks somewhere they'll live forever. See [example](https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/blob/master/examples/nrf/src/bin/raw_spawn.rs)
- No async trait impls (requires GATs). Note that the full API surface of HALs is still available through inherent methods: #552#581
- Some stuff is not constructible in const (requires `const_fn_trait_bound`), although there's an (ugly) workaround for the generic `Mutex`.
So it's not that bad in the end, it's fully usable for shipping production-ready firmwares. We'll still recommend nightly as the default, until GATs and `type_alias_impl_trait` are stable.

591: PWM WS2812B example and flexible sequence config r=Dirbaio a=huntc
I've permitted the PWM sequences to be mutated on stopping the PWM by associating them with a new `SingleSequencer` structure. This is so that we can perform effects on the LEDs (and other use-cases, I'm sure!). The example has been updated to illustrate the use of this by flashing a WS2812B LED.
There's also a `Sequencer` structure for more sophisticated PWM interactions, along with a `pwm_double_sequence` example to illustrate.
These changes should make it possible to attain all of the nRF PWM functionality available.

This approach owns the sequence buffers which, while introducing an extra move, it eliminates the need to guard the lifetime of the sequence buffer. Given ownership, the buffer will be retained until the PWM sequence task is stopped.
