Allows
storage.disable_usb_drive()and.enable_usb_drive()to be called fromcode.pyor from the REPL.Disabling the USB drive at that time makes the LUN for CIRCUITPY be "not ready", and makes CIRCUITPY read/write to code or to the REPL. This allows user-code file writes, or file writes from the REPL. REPL access will be useful for serial-based code editors and file uploaders.
Re-enabling the USB drive makes the LUN ready again, and makes it read-only again, assuming it was mounted that way. The host computer will find it.
Tested on Linux, Windows 11, and macOS 26.6 beta 5.
Tagging @urfdvw and @makermelissa for interest for code editors.
