mynewt-nimble nimble/transport: Add UART transport for external controller

This is the same as standard "uart" transport except it's for LL side which means it can be used for NimBLE host to talk to external controller. Enable it by "BLE_TRANSPORT_LL: uart_ll".

Hi, Will this PR be merged in next release?

Yes, although I am thinking of merging this into existing UART H4 transport so we don't duplicate code unnecessarily. But this feature will be available in next release.

Hi @andrzej-kaczmarek Thanks for the prompt reply. This feature was working in NimBLE-1.4.0, I'm surprised that it was missed in NimBLE-1.5.0. (So please consider it as a bug fix) What's the target release timeline for next release?

Any update for merging this? @andrzej-kaczmarek
