Laurens Valk 631cf31a07 pybricks.common.Motor: Document when settings take effect.
This updates how and when settings take effect. In this release, you can
change them even while the motor is moving. Some settings do not
take effect right away, as now indicated in the relevant methods.

to the next number at the note C, for example, ``B3`` is the
note below middle C (``C4``).

the size of the note. For example ``/4`` is a quarter note,
``/8`` is an eighth note and so on.

note. Dotted notes are 1-1/2 times as long as notes without a
dot.

def color(self, surface: bool = True) -> Optional[Color]:
"""color(surface=True) -> Color
Scans the color of a surface or an external light source.
You choose which colors are detected using the
``detectable_colors()`` method. By default, it detects
``Color.RED``, ``Color.YELLOW``, ``Color.GREEN``, ``Color.BLUE``,
``Color.WHITE``, or ``Color.NONE``.
Arguments:
surface (bool): Choose ``true`` to scan the color of objects
and surfaces. Choose ``false`` to scan the color of
screens and other external light sources.
Returns:
Detected color.`

def hsv(self, surface: bool = True) -> Color:
"""hsv(surface=True) -> Color
Scans the color of a surface or an external light source.
This method is similar to ``color()``, but it gives the full range
of hue, saturation and brightness values, instead of rounding it to the
nearest detectable color.
Arguments:
surface (bool): Choose ``true`` to scan the color of objects
and surfaces. Choose ``false`` to scan the color of
screens and other external light sources.
Returns:
Measured color. The color is described by a hue (0--359), a
saturation (0--100), and a brightness value (0--100).
