bma42x: add new BMA421/BMA425 driver

I wrote this for the PineTime, and all available sensors (accelerometer,
step counter, temperature sensor) do work.

This commit also includes two "configuration files", that actually
appear to be firmware files to run on the accelerometer for special
features like step counting.
I'm not sure where they originally came for, and I don't know the
copyright status of them. However, Bosch has open-sourced the BMA423
driver which includes a similar binary blob and the InfiniTime and
Wasp-OS projects have been shipping these blobs without issues, so I
think it's reasonably safe to include these binary blobs directly in the
source.

// Package bma42x provides a driver for the BMA421 and BMA425 accelerometer
// chips.
//
// Here is a reasonably good datasheet:
// https://datasheet.lcsc.com/lcsc/1912111437_Bosch-Sensortec-BMA425_C437656.pdf
//
// This driver was originally written for the PineTime, using the datasheet as a
// guide. There is an open source C driver provided by Bosch, but unfortunately
// it needs some small modifications to work with other chips (most importantly,
// the "config file").
// The InfiniTime and Wasp-OS drivers for this accelerometer have also been used
// to figure out some driver details (especially step counting).

// BMA425: https://datasheet.lcsc.com/lcsc/1912111437_Bosch-Sensortec-BMA425_C437656.pdf
// This is the BMA421 firmware from the Wasp-OS project.
// It is identical to the so-called BMA423 firmware in InfiniTime, which I
// suspect to be actually a BMA421 firmware. I don't know where this firmware
// comes from or what the licensing status is.
// It has the FEATURES_IN command prepended, so that it can be written directly
