v1.3 of the Raspberry Pi Pico hat #57

This ticket came out of a conversation on #55.

I propose a v1.3 of the hardware/software which is a hat for the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350) that includes 2 PS/2 ports (both dual wired), 2 USB-A ports, and (if possible) 2 USB-C ports. That should eliminate the need for all adapters regardless of what type of connectors your HIDs have and what port(s) your computer has.

What I need is a code base that I can build and flash onto a Raspberry Pi Pico 2. I'll try to build a prototype that can demonstrate that the electronics work as expected and then design a circuit in KiCAD and a PCB to match. Once that's done, I'll have some boards made, assemble them and find out if I made any mistakes. Then possibly iterate on this process several times until all the kinks are worked out.

Once we have a solid version 1.3 board, I design a new case, and we commit all the new files to this repo.

That sounds great! I'll have to get a Pico 2 for myself too.
