zephyr/boards: Add XIAO BLE NRF52840 SENSE board.

This commit adds Zephyr support for the XIAO BLE NRF52840 SENSE board from Seeed Studio. It also provides a good example of a richer Zephyr port than the default, adding: - Frozen modules (including asyncio, upysh, aioble and aiorepl). - Enough MicroPython features to support using aioble (at least for the `temp_sensor.py` example). - JSON, random, re, struct, etc. Signed-off-by: Ned Konz <ned@metamagix.tech>
