+Button handling library

+
+Overview
+********
+
+The button handling library uses the GPIOTE to detect when a button has been pushed.
+To handle debouncing, a timer is started in the GPIOTE event handler.
+The button will only be reported as pushed to the application if the corresponding pin is still active when the timer expires.
+
+Configuration
+*************
+
+The library is enabled using the Kconfig system.
+Set the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BM_BUTTONS` Kconfig option to enable the library.
+
+The number of pins available for use by the button handling library is set by the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BM_BUTTONS_NUM_PINS` Kconfig option.
+
+Initialization
+==============
+
+The button handling library is initialized by calling the :c:func:`bm_buttons_init` function.
+The init function takes an array of button configurations as an argument, see the :c:struct:`bm_buttons_config` struct for details.
+It also takes, as an argument, the detection delay time used for the debouncing.
+Each button configuration takes a separate :c:type:`bm_buttons_handler_t` function.
+The button pin number and state is provided to the event handler on a button event.
+Thus, all configurations can use the same event handler.
+
+Usage
+*****
+
+After initialization the buttons are enabled by calling the :c:func:`bm_buttons_enable` function.
+Likewise, the buttons can be disabled by calling the :c:func:`bm_buttons_disable` function.
+
+Once a button is pressed and the debouncing process succeeds (the button state has not changed during the detection_delay period), the button's event handler function is called.
+
+When the buttons are enabled, it is possible to check if a button is pressed or not by calling the :c:func:`bm_buttons_is_pressed` function.
+
+The button library can be deinitialized by calling the :c:func:`bm_buttons_deinit` function.
+
+Dependencies
