Adding Bastyl shield

[mseflek]

Adding shield for split keyboard Bastyl.

Tested on my Bastyl with a pair of nice!nano MCUs.

Just noticed I forgot to update the commented out part of the keymap to reflect the layout. please hold-off on merging until I fix that. EDIT: Fixed!

Thanks for adding this shield @mseflek! There seems to be a duplicate of each file that has "-checkpoint" in it. Any idea what's up with that? On first glance the "-checkpoint" files look pretty good (minus the naming of course).

That was my bad -- I typically code for data science so my "IDE" is Jupyter lab. It auto-saves and creates checkpoint files, and I forgot to exclude them from my initial commit before. Thanks for catching. Should be fixed now.

Just finished my Bastyl build. Can’t wait to get the shield up and running!

Thank you, contributor, for your patience with how long review and merge of boards/shields has taken!

There are three recent refactors/changes to boards and shields that require some attention, and then we can finally get this PR merged!

1. Hardware Metadata
2. Pro Micro shield DT naming changes
3. Split changes for BLE advertising

Hardware Metadata

The Problem

When first developing the process around contributing new shields/boards to ZMK, we failed to recognize that several key files (setup scripts, documentation page of supported hardware, and GH Action build.yml file) required changes, often in the same spot, for every PR. This resulted in immediate merge conflicts for every other PR after one was merged, which is a headache for contributors.

The Fix

By adding discrete metadata files that are located with the boards/shields in question, and using that metadata to generate setup scripts, website hardware list, etc., users can contributing new hardware descriptions without the need to change the same files that other contributors are changing.

Next Steps

First, refer to https://zmk.dev/docs/development/hardware-metadata-files to familiarize yourself with the new metadata file format.

Next, you have two options for fixing up your PR:

1. If comfortable with git rebase, perform an interactive rebase and revert any changes to build.yml, hardware.md, or the setup scripts setup.sh/setup.ps1, and then add the new metadata YAML file. Then force push your branch. Or,
2. Create a new branch from an up-to-date main, copy in the files for your new hardware, add the metadata file, then commit and push the new branch. Then, edit your open PR to point to your new branch.

Pro Micro shield DT naming changes

In #876, we have simplified the DT naming for the "nexus node" we expose for pro-micro compatible boards, deprecating the use of pro_micro_a, and renaming pro_micro_d node to simply pro_micro. For pro-micro boards and shields, you'll need to adjust your DT to use the proper names.

Please see https://zmk.dev/docs/development/new-shield#shield-overlays for the updated docs on this.

Split Shield Advertising Changes

In addition, if this is a split PR, please see #658 where we have changed our conventions to remove the the name from the right sides, to prevent users attempting to pair with them and causing split sync issues. This also includes removing the " Left" suffix from the naming on the left side. See the changes in that PR for examples of what to change with your split shield.

Getting Help

If you have any questions about any of these changes, please comment here and tag @zmkfirmware/boards-shields or ask in the #boards-shields Discord channel.
