Bh1750 sensor #177

Can you add the bh1750 sensor (lux) ?

As I understand, the sensor communicates over I2C. In theory, pigpiod should be able to handle that, but I have no experience with I2C. I won’t have time to look into this before September-ish (2024).

Also it won’t work on a Raspberry Pi 5, which pigpiod doesn’t support. Not sure if an alternative way (still under investigation) to interface with GPIOs would support I2C.
