esp32-s2-i2s-par-receiver

This program generates VSYNC, PCLK and 8-bit data signals on GPIOs, reads by itself with the I2S camera mode (which exists on ESP32 and ESP32-S2), and checks the integrity. Please check i2s_par_pins.h before running this program.

The idea of input simulation was inspired by https://github.com/xenpac/ESP32-I2S-Simulator, which seems to have a few problems with ESP32-S2:

• for ESP32-S2, the LSB can be I2S0I_DATA_IN8_IDX (not I2S0I_DATA_IN0_IDX) in 8-bit mode;
• I2S0.fifo_conf.rx_fifo_mod makes no sense at least in 8-bit mode, and it doesn't exist in ESP32-S2 technical reference;
• the pull-up, pull-down switching method of output simulation from ESP32-I2S-Simulator is proved unreliable, use GPIO_MODE_INPUT_OUTPUT instead;
• in ESP32-I2S-Simulator, vTaskDelay(1/portTICK_PERIOD_MS) is useless when portTICK_PERIOD_MS is larger than 1.

Known problem: the first frame received after I2S initialization is broken.
