extmod/machine_signal: Support all Pin's arguments to the constructor.

This implements the orginal idea is that Signal is a subclass of Pin, and
thus can accept all the same argument as Pin, and additionally, "inverted"
param. On the practical side, it allows to avoid many enclosed parenses for
a typical declararion, e.g. for Zephyr:

Signal(Pin(("GPIO_0", 1))).

Of course, passing a Pin to Signal constructor is still supported and is the
most generic form (e.g. Unix port will only support such form, as it doesn't
have "builtin" Pins), what's introduces here is just practical readability
optimization.

"value" kwarg is treated as applying to a Signal (i.e. accounts for possible
inversion).
