extmod/machine_spi: Support firstbit=LSB for machine.SoftSPI.

Being able to send data out in LSB format can be useful, and having support
in the low-level driver is much better than requiring Python code to
reorder the bits before sending them / after receiving them.  In particular
if the hardware does not support the LSB format (eg RP2040) then one needs
to use the SoftSPI in LSB mode.

For this change a default definition of `MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SPI_MSB/_LSB`
was added to `py/mpconfig.h`, making them available to all ports.  The
identical defines in `esp32/mpconfigport.h` were deleted.

Resolves issues #5340, #11404.
