bitbang_spi: Add half-duplex optimizations

Currently, the core of bitbang_spi is a full-duplex SPI loop but in
practice this code is only ever used half-duplex. Spliting this code
into two half duplex loops allows us to optimize performance by reducing
communications and/or CPU pipeline stalls.

The speed up varies depending on how much the overhead of
getting/setting pins dominates execution time. For a USB bit bang driver
running on a 7th generation Core i5, the time to probe drops from ~7.7
seconds to ~6.7 seconds when this patch is applied.
