Is your feature request related to a problem?

My application requires 5 UART ports. So I have a shortage of Hardware UART ports, Software UART would be helpful in my situation. I know software UART will have issues in high baud rate scenarios but my use case is 4800 & 9600 on software UART.

I found a library on using RMT as UART but it has a few drawbacks. The most important for me is the lack of support for Even parity. Here's the link to the library: https://github.com/naffej/esp32-rmt-uart

I have searched a lot for this and seen a few people looking for this feature on the ESP32 forums, Reddit etc. Hope you consider adding an example or a component as a feature.

Describe the solution you'd like.

A Software Serial component or an example to use RMT as Software UART

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I couldn't find any software solutions but I have considered using a Mux IC to switch multiple serial ports to a single GPIO pin. The issue with this is I'll have to de-init and re-init the UART driver to change the baud rate, parity etc.

Additional context.
