Add support for read/writing files on embedded drives

[kilograham]

picotool is able to find embedded drives; it might be nice to be able to list/extract/and writes files

I've got this working for LittleFS (which is used by MicroPython) on the block-device-support branch - so far I've added ls (listing all files/directories recursively), mkdir, put and get. I'll add mv and rm too - are there any other commands that are worth adding, and also what other filesystems should this support?

Perhaps https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/mpremote.html#mpremote-command-fs suggests the kind of commands that might be useful? 🙂

also what other filesystems should this support?

FAT seems like the obvious suggestion?

Just in case the GH notifications don't work properly: I've left some comments at the bottom of 626beaa

Note (if you don't already) we should probably allow use of a partition as well as the embedded drive (since people will probably use those in the future)

Oh, they're different things? Just goes to show how little I understand all of this 🤣
