[I] hw/drivers: Lack of simple UART string transmit API [mynewt-core]

URL: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-core/issues/3487

   Currently, there is no easy way to send a full string over a UART interface.
   You have to send each character manually, like this:
   ```
   char *str = "Hello World!";
   char *ptr = str;
   
   while (*ptr) {
       hal_uart_blocking_tx(MY_UART, *ptr++);
   }
   hal_uart_blocking_tx(MY_UART, '\n');
   ```
   For the console, there is `console_printf()`, but there isnt similar function for general UARTs.
   
   **Proposal:**
   Add function, for example:
   `void hal_uart_transmit(int uart, char *str);`
   that would send the whole string over the selected UART.
   
   **Example usage:**
   `hal_uart_transmit(1, "Hello World!\n");`
