new modules dedicated to quantum labs #26

Description

@gkasprow
  1. New revision of the main board. We eliminate RMII (S3 doesn't have MAC) and route SPI+RST+IRQ+GPIO instead, utilising the newer ESP32-S3 chip, which offers more I/O. We need more IOs to address multi-chip peripherals. We also eliminate the I2C expander and the level translator. Add a vertical USB-C connector, leave the original programmer connector.
  2. Ethernet + PoE via SPI based on DM9051 MAC+PHY. It has ESP-IDF drivers. Make design based on Single Pair Ethernet module (SPE-SPI) - just replace PHY and add PoE (Ag9900LBP).
  3. RF detector based on a single-chip logarithmic converter and ADC with SPI. Use a precise detector like AD8318 + a simple-to-use 16bit ADC like ADS1118. ADS1118 has ESPHOME support.
  4. ADC module based on ADS1118 / MCP3561 as above, but with divider to support 0-10V (differential)
  5. DAC output 0-10V based on DAC8875
  6. 2-channel UART based on WK2168 or WK2132-ISSG; dedicated to sensors transmitting data over UART. Route Rx, Tx, GND, 5V to the connector
  7. Precise thermometer based on ad7172; just copy AFE from Thermostat design. Add an optional precision 10uA current source to support 4-wire cryogenic sensors (just an opamp like here)

Use pluggable 2.5mm WURTH terminals everywhere, when possible, unify GND/PWR pins to avoid damage when the wrong plug is inserted.
