Add PCF8563 RTC #2071

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Add support for the PCF8563 RTC. This is the RTC supplied by Sancloud for use with the BBE. https://sancloud.com/beaglebone-enhanced-real-time-clock-setup-tutorial/

It appears the PCF8563 was included at one time (see #71) but it does not appear in the current (version 8.3.1) list of RTC drivers in FPP or in the directory of kernel drivers. Oddly, the PCF85363 does not appear in the drivers directory either.

I tried the Kulp RTC driver (PCF85363) but it does not appear to be compatible with the PCF8563 and the logs show the driver does not load.

I checked the datasheets for the PCF8563, PCF85363 and PCF8523 and the register maps are quite different.
