Brady Conlon requested to merge dev/inspired_energy_mux into main

inspired_energy_mux_driver.py is a circuit python module that was converted into a ROS node, so that individual inspired energy battery's in a battery pack can communicate their charging information. This driver is configured to work with a MCP2221 USB to I2C Chip and a TCA9548 adafruit MUX.

The ROS topic name is currently listed as 'battery_bus_status'
