uart timeout_chars is uint8_t and is limited to 255, very limited timeout

Re: UART timeout_chars not working

Looking in the pycom codebase here:
https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox/blob/master/esp32/mods/machuart.c

It looks like rx_timeout is an uint8_t so at most we can get 255 * 1/baudrate of timeout which isn't much...
Is there going to be an update for this?
