Subject: [PATCH] Update UART programmers guide.

Previously failed to mention RX/TX options, and suggested they would default according to the schema, which they dont.

Fixes https://github.com/atomvm/AtomVM/issues/1356

 The AtomVM UART implementation uses the AtomVM Port mechanism and must be initialized using the [`uart:open/2`](./apidocs/erlang/eavmlib/uart.md#open2) function.
 
-The first parameter indicates the ESP32 UART hardware interface.  Legal values are:
+The first parameter indicates the ESP32 UART hardware interface.  Valid values are:
 
 ```erlang
 "UART0" | "UART1" | "UART2"
 ```
 
-The selection of the hardware interface dictates the default RX and TX pins on the ESP32:
-
-| Port | RX pin | TX pin |
-|-------------|--------|-------|
-| `UART0` | GPIO_3 | GPIO_1 |
-| `UART1` | GPIO_9 | GPIO_10 |
-| `UART2` | GPIO_16 | GPIO_17 |
-
 The second parameter is a properties list, containing the following elements:
 
 | Key | Value Type | Required | Default Value | Description |
 |-----|------------|----------|---------------|-------------|
+| `rx` | `integer()` | no | -1 (`UART_PIN_NO_CHANGE`) | RX GPIO Pin |
+| `tx` | `integer()` | no | -1 (`UART_PIN_NO_CHANGE`) | TX GPIO Pin |
 | `speed` | `integer()` | no | 115200 | UART baud rate (bits/sec) |
 | `data_bits` | `5 \| 6 \| 7 \| 8` | no | 8 | UART data bits |
 | `stop_bits` | `1 \| 2` | no | 1 | UART stop bits |
 | `flow_control` | `hardware \| software \| none` | no | `none` | Flow control |
 | `parity` | `even \| odd \| none` | no | `none` | UART parity check |

+The default RX and TX pins for the various UARTs on the ESP32 (as always check your board specs):
+
+| Port | RX pin | TX pin |
+|-------------|--------|-------|
+| `UART0` | GPIO_3 | GPIO_1 |
+| `UART1` | GPIO_9 | GPIO_10 |
+| `UART2` | GPIO_16 | GPIO_17 |

 For example,
 
 ```erlang
-UART = uart:open("UART0", [{speed, 9600}])
+UART = uart:open("UART0", [{rx, 3}, {tx, 1}, {speed, 9600}])
 ```
 
 Once the port is opened, you can use the returned `UART` instance to read and write bytes to the attached device.
