Write firmware for the Ferris keyboard (#9634) * Write firmware for the Ferris keyboard Took inspiration from the gergoplex and the ergodox_ez firmware for the split matrix with io_expander on the right hand. Cleaned up a lot of bit fiddling on the mcu side by taking inspiration from the `split_custom` in quantum. Still bit fiddling on the mcp side as it is particularly natural to do so with the abstractions provided by the i2c protocol. Would be good to clean that up and abstract away the wiring from the generic i2c code in a similar fashion as quantum and the mcp side behave. One improvement over the ergodox_ez and the gergoplex firmwares is that the wiring is straight forward as opposed to swapping rows and columns in two different places that end up cancelling out for some reason. At this stage, I have flashed this firmware to a board and have verified that all keys are behaving as intended by shorting pins.

# Ferris

A split 34 keys column staggered keyboard named and decorated after the rustlang mascott. All PCB files and some thoughts on the design are available on the [project's github page](https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris)
* Keyboard Maintainer: [Pierre Chevalier](https://github.com/pierrechevalier83)
Ferris reorganization (#10564) * Add my own keymap * Layer 0: Workman * Layer 1: RSTHD (my own take on it) * Layer 2: Mouse * Layer 3: Navigation * Layer 4: Symbols right * Layer 5: Symbols left * Layer 6: Fn keys * Layer 7: Numbers * Layer 8: Vim and misceallaneaous accessible from any other layer * Move the current code to a 0.1 folder in preparation for upcoming changes Version 0.2 is currently being prototyped and uses an arm chip which will need its own firmware. There is also the Ferris sweep which uses a pro-micro compatible board which will need its own directory. * Move Ferris out of handwired and into the light The keyboard is now well out of the prototype phase as tens of them have been produced and acquired by various people. With 0.2 coming out, adoption is going to increase again as the board will be available for sale at some recognized vendors. Now is probably a good time to recognize its status as more than a prototype :) * Add code for the Ferris Sweep (a.k.a cradio) The Ferris Sweep is a creation of the talented @davidphilipbarr, a.k.a DPB. It has the key layout of a Ferris and uses a pro-micro connected to the switches via direct pins so that diodes are not needed and the soldering is minimal. With their blessing, I took the code for it from DPB's own repo: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/36keys/tree/master/qmk/cradio and did some adaptations such as removing commented out code, enabling EE_HANDS and mouse keys for consistency with my existing Ferris code. * Fix indentation in rules.mk * Fix indentation in sweep's config * Remove unnecessary lines from sweep's rules.mk * Remove unnecessary lines from sweep's rules.mk * Rename 0.1 to 0_1 This avoids the dot looking like the separation between a filename and its extension. In the same commit, bring matrix.c to the 0_1 folder as this was needed for the code to compile properly (matrix.c is referred to in the readme under `0_1` and is specific to that revision of the firmware). * Update copyright statements for Sweep

* Hardware Supported:
* Ferris 0.1 (With atmega32u4 chip. Comes in 4 variants: base, low, high and compact)
* Ferris sweep (With pro-micro. Comes in a couple of PCB edge cuts shapes, but with identical pinout)
* Hardware Availability: Pierre Chevalier has been selling keyboard kits (see the #ferris channel in the 40% discord chat). Wider availability is on the horizon.
