stm32/boards/WEACT_F411_BLACKPILL: Add WeAct F411 'blackpill' boards.

Adds board profile for the WeAct F411 'blackpill' which is a quite popular
low cost ST dev board.  This board also has optional spiflash so can be
purchased in a few different configurations.

Builds for v3.1 with no SPI Flash by default.  Includes variants for
different board versions and spi flash sizes.

+WeAct F411 'blackpill'
+======================
+
+The WeAct F411 blackpill board comes in a number of versions and variants.
+All have a footprint for a SPI flash chip on the back, though the board is
+often sold without any flash chip loaded.
+
+At the time of writing (Sep 2024) v3.1 is the current version.
+This version is sold with both 25Mhz HSE crystal (same as previous versions) and also
+with a 8Mhz crystal. The end user should be careful to confirm which variant is
+purchased and/or read the markings on the crystal to know which variant build to load.
+
+The previous v2.0 boards had changed the MCU pinout for the spi flash chip so requires
+soft-spi support enabled in the variant settings, unlike v3.1 or v1.3 which is
+compatible with the hardware spi peripheral.
+
+The original v1.3 boards did not include a user switch on the top, it only has
+"BOOT0" and "NRST" switches to load bootloader and reset the board respectively.
+
+For more information see: https://github.com/WeActStudio/WeActStudio.MiniSTM32F4x1
+
+Note: The pins used by features like spiflash and USB are also broken out to the
+gpio headers on the sides of the board.
+If these peripherals / features are enabled then these external pins must be avoided to ensure
+there are no conflicts. [pins.csv](pins.csv) should be consulted to check all pins assigned
+to alternate functions on the board.
+
+Customising the build
+---------------------
+
+After purchasing a board without any spiflash chip loaded the user can solder on
+their own of any desired size. Most brands of spiflash in SO8 pinout are compatible
+however some do have a slightly different protocol so may not work out of the box
+with micropython. Brand compatibility is outide the scope of this doc.
+
+Once a custom spiflash chip has been loaded onto the board micropython should
+be built with the flash size specified. After doing so the spiflash chip will
+be used for the FAT/LFS main filesystem.
+
+Examples:
+
+For a v3.1 / 25Mhz (default version) board with 16MiB flash chip loaded:
+``` bash
+make -C ports/stm32 BOARD=WEACT_F411_BLACKPILL SPI_FLASH_SIZE_MB=16
+```
+
+For a v3.1 / 8Mhz board with 4MiB flash chip loaded:
+``` bash
+make -C ports/stm32 BOARD=WEACT_F411_BLACKPILL BOARD_VARIANT=V31_XTAL_8M SPI_FLASH_SIZE_MB=4
+```
+
+For a v1.3 board with 2MiB flash chip loaded and XTAL manually replaced with 8Mhz:
+``` bash
+make -C ports/stm32 BOARD=WEACT_F411_BLACKPILL BOARD_VARIANT=V13 SPI_FLASH_SIZE_MB=2 XTAL_FREQ_MHZ=8
+```
