Description:
Add module
TFL
to Berry in order to run generic TensorFlow Lite models.Uses optimizations for ESP32 platform (kernels, ESP-DSP, RTOS) where possible.
Avoids boiler plate code as much as possible with a very short API (might be extended in the future if needed).
Can run specialized sessions to fulfill realtime requirements - first example is speech recognition, that can run on a simple ESP32 (no PSRAM mandatory, although it would be utilized). Will play nicely with Edgeimpulse, that provides an easy way to train a model (with compatible feature extraction!) from scratch.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Speech recognition on an ESP32 will never be as robust as on much more powerful smartphone, smart speakers and similar equipment!! But it can do some things surprisingly well.

Checklist:
NOTE: The code change must pass CI tests. Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass
