bitbang_spi: Add functions to optimize xfers
On systems where the overhead of getting/setting pins is much greater
than the half period (for example, USB bit banging) it significantly
boosts performance if we can bang more than one bit at the same time.
Add support for setting sck at the same time as mosi or miso activity.
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 ~9.2
seconds to ~7.7 seconds when set_clk_set_mosi() is implemented.
