Merge #269

269: Add digital::IoPin to resolve issue 29 r=therealprof a=MorganR

Closes #29.

This implementation is inspired by [chrismoos's comment](#29 (comment)) in #29.

I've demonstrated using this trait for a [no-std DHT11 driver](https://github.com/MorganR/rust-simple-sensors/blob/main/src/dht11.rs), and verified this on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ using an implementation in linux-embedded-hal (PR to follow). 

I'll also be sending a PR to implement this in at least one additional HAL implementation library (recommendations welcome).

One question I have is how copyright/authorship is tracked in this repo? I believe the copyright owner for my code would technically be Google LLC. When patching repos, I'm meant to add that to the appropriate copyright/authors list.
