## Description
<!-- What changed? Why? (the code + comments should speak for itself on
the "how") -->
<!-- Fun screenshots or a cool video or something are super helpful as
well. If this touches platform-specific behavior, this is where test
evidence should be collected. -->
<!-- Any issues this pull request closes or pull requests this
supersedes should be linked with `Closes #issuenumber`. -->
Bump to wpilib 2026 beta. This does not bump our pythonlib, as robotpy
hasn't come out yet.

The old GPIO abstraction was replaced with
[`diozero`](https://www.diozero.com), which supports most hardware
running Linux due to its use of GPIO character devices provided by the
Linux kernel. `diozero` also supports [alternate
providers](https://www.diozero.com/concepts/providers.html#providers) if
for some reason the character device API is insufficient. Certain
capabilities outside of the character device API is also implemented for
common hardware.
Custom GPIO commands are implemented via a custom `diozero` provider.
The configuration for custom GPIO will need manually updated according
to the Hardware Config documentation page.
The status LED class was also reworked to support additional statuses or
LED indication types, although none have been added yet.
This was tested on a RPi 5 with LL3 illumination LEDs and an RGB status
led attached. All capabilities worked as expected. All 8 status LED
colors were tested and functional via modifying the code. Basic
functionality of custom GPIO was tested with dummy commands.
Provide instructions for installing the PhotonVision version that is
compatible with WPILibPi 2023.4.2, which is the newest version available
for the Romi.
The older text is hidden in a comment so that it can be restored when
there is a newer version of WPILibPi that is compatible with newer
versions of PhotonVision.
