Adds RMT End of Transmission Level API (#9238)

* RMT (featt):  adds a new function to set EOT level after RMT writing

* RMT (feat): adds new feature to set the EOT level after writing RMT channel

* adds return value to rmtSetEOT()

* adds bool return to rmtSetEOT()

* adds return value to the rmtSetEOT() function

* FIX (rmt): fixes eot_level setting using flags in the TX structure

* RMT(feat): Create RMT_EndOfTransmissionState.ino example

* Update cores/esp32/esp32-hal-rmt.h
