[feature] Add external encoder feedback #11

It could be interesting to give motor-operations a feedback about the actual status and positioning of the motors. Since it's nice having beagleg agnostic regarding the external hardware it would be a nice plugin-like feature

Hi, Iromor, I think a CAN bus or I2C bus encoder module is actually needed for this function
