Simpson: a release build, its schematic and keypad in the docs

The env is Simpson_companion_solo_dual, the suffix the release workflow
builds, and keeps the variant's build_unflags (they were overridden, so the
GPS pins were defined twice and the sensor drivers came back). Hardware
gets a Simpson section with sim1988son's schematic and the keypad's modes;
README lists the board.

## Simpson
A DIY board by [sim1988son](https://github.com/sim1988son), an extended
FakeTec: a ProMicro nRF52840 with a RA-01S (SX1262) radio, an ATGM336H GPS,
a 1.3" SH1106 OLED, a 4×4 keypad on a PCF8574 I2C expander (address 0x20),
a buzzer and a vibration motor. The GPS, the buzzer and the motor are each
switched by a MOSFET.
[![Simpson schematic](./hardware/simpson-schematic.png)](./hardware/simpson-schematic.pdf)
The schematic as a PDF: [simpson-schematic.pdf](./hardware/simpson-schematic.pdf).
The build is `solo-<version>-Simpson.uf2`; pins are in
[`variants/simpson`](../../variants/simpson).
### The keypad
**Fn** steps through four modes, shown in the corner of a text field and as
an alert: **Ctl** (navigation), **abc**, **ABC** and **123**. Bluetooth, GPS
and the brightness keys do the same in every mode.
