Zephyr v3.7.0 added a new feature to allow getting devices by their
devicetree node labels. Use this feature in the MicroPython Zephyr port
to simplify constructing machine module objects, including Pin, SPI,
I2C, and UART. It's still possible to use the more verbose device names
(e.g., gpio@400ff040, i2c@40066000, spi@4002c000), but now we can also
use their devicetree node labels (e.g., gpiob, i2c0, spi0).
Node labels aren't standardized across all SoC families because they
generally try to follow their respective SoC hardware user manual naming
convention, however many boards define common labels for devices routed
to Arduino headers (e.g., arduino_i2c, arduino_serial, and arduino_spi).
That means I2C("arduino_i2c") will work on quite a few boards (>100 in
the main Zephyr tree).

Zephyr v3.2.0 deprecated the devicetree label property as a base
property, which had been used as the device name string for
device_get_binding(). The device name string is now the devicetree node
name appended with its unit-address. Update Zephyr port documentation
to reflect this change.

Includes an introduction to using the Zephyr port on MicroPython. The
quickref details examples of how to use each module the port currently
supports. The tutorial provides additional details for Zephyr specific
modules.
