add support in Blinka for orange pi zero 3

this gpio pinout

I guess I can second this here since the Orangepi Zero 2w also have more or less the same system specs except the pinout, I want support for Orangepi Zero 2w, I'll add a separate issue later to track it too. if anyone can suggest me how to get started on adding support for a new board I would like to work on this and make a contribution

Hi

We try use connected OLED 0.96 via I2C to Orange Pi Zero 3 and it looks like board is not detected via PlatformDetect

 File "/opt/fmpoland/oled/test.py", line 13, in <module>
    import board
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/board.py", line 405, in <module>
      raise NotImplementedError(
    NotImplementedError:
    Adafruit-PlatformDetect version 3.62.0 was unable to identify the board and/or
    microcontroller running the Linux platform. Please be sure you
    have the latest packages by running:
    'pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-blinka adafruit-platformdetect
    If you are running the latest package, your board may not yet be supported. Please
    open a New Issue on GitHub at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/issues and
    select New Board Request.

When I run example PlatformDetect code:

  from adafruit_platformdetect import Detector
  detector = Detector()
  print("Chip id: ", detector.chip.id)
  print("Board id: ", detector.board.id)

Result show only

   Chip id: H6

no bard info is displayed

It's nice when support for the Orange Pi Zero 3 computer is added to be able to use the adafruit library to display information on OLED
