Adds new command pwm <0/1> polarity <normal/reversed>, which sets the direction of TEC polarity, with swapped status saved to flash and reported.

See #104. Decided to not go with the mode command after all since resistive heater mode can be emulated with current limits.

If I can configure the TEC Polarity via the command pwm <0/1> polarity_swapped <false/true>,
I would expect I can see the TEC polarity via the pwm cmd. But it's not.

There is inconsistency in cmd and report json.
Type pwm <0/1> polarity_swapped <false/true> to swap polarity.
But, the report json uses "current_swapped" to indicate such setting.

current_swapped is not a good name for such setting.

Also, there is missing README report cmd docs for this settings.

state.polarity_swapped setting is not applied when settings are loaded from flash.

I've changed the command to be in the format pwm <0/1> polarity <normal/reversed>, with the pwm command returning the following:

[{"channel":0,"center":"vref","i_set":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"max_v":{"value":0e0,"max":4e0},"max_i_pos":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"max_i_neg":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"polarity":"normal"},{"channel":1,"center":"vref","i_set":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"max_v":{"value":0e0,"max":4e0},"max_i_pos":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"max_i_neg":{"value":0e0,"max":2e0},"polarity":"normal"}]

The README is also updated, noting where polarity reversing might be needed. The polarity setting saving/loading was also tested ok.

But isn't it not a pwm functionality? pwm is just a way to reduce the average voltage by regulating high-freq square pulses (same as brightness regulation on OLED screens without DC-dimming).

API seems fine otherwise, just different category.

@esavkin In the case of thermostat the PWM system is able to output both positive and negative voltages.
