The bit-bang implementation was replaced with the RMT implementation in
599b61c086. This commit brings back that
bit-bang code, and allows it to be selected via the new static method:
esp32.RMT.bitstream_channel(None)
The bit-bang implementation may be useful if the RMT needs to be used for
something else, or if bit-banging is more stable in certain applications.

MicroPython currently runs on core 0 of the esp32. Calling
rmt_driver_install will mean that the RMT interrupt handler is also
serviced on core 0. This can lead to glitches in the RMT output if
WiFi is enabled (for esp32.RMT and machine.bitstream).
This patch calls rmt_driver_install on core 1, ensuring that the RMT
interrupt handler is serviced on core 1. This prevents glitches.
Fixes issue #8161.

After changing the bitstream implementation to use the RMT driver in
commit 72d86158121e32bbabaeade08f449d507bf40f9a
("esp32/machine_bitstream.c: Replace with RMT-based driver."), using
multiple `Neopixel` instances shows signal duplication between the
instances (i.e. a `write()` on one instance is written to all instances).
On invocation, the rmt driver configures the GPIO matrix to route the
output signal to the respective GPIO pin. When called for a different
`NeoPixel` instance using a different pin, the new route is established,
but the old route still exists. Now, the RMT output signal is sent to both
pins.
Fix this by setting the standard GPIO output function for the current pin
after uninstalling the RMT driver.
