I2C driver for LIS2HH12 3-axis accelerometer

MicroPython I2C driver for STMicroelectronics LIS2HH12 3-axis accelerometer. This chip is also found in PySense and PyTrack boards. However unlike the Pycom driver this one has permissive MIT license.

Since I am big believer in reuseable code I just updated this driver to use unified sensor properties and units as described by CircuitPython design guide. TL;DR default unit is m/s^2 instead of g and values are accessed via sensor.acceleration property instead of sensor.acceleration() method.

Nice, I've just bought an LIS2DH12 which looks drop-in compatible. I'll give your code a try when I receive my device!

Let me know how it goes. If it works I mention it in docs.
