Add Silicon Labs EZSP as experimental to supported adapters list

[Hedda]

Added Silicon Labs EZSP v8 on EFR32 with 6.7.8 FW to supported adapters list as "experimental" and "pre-alpha stage" to website.

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/supported_adapters.html

	Silicon Labs EZSP v8 (experimental)	Initial development started on experimental (pre-alpha stage) support for various adapters based on Silicon Labs EFR32 SoC families with EmberZNet NCP 6.7.8 firmware or later via EZSP version 8 (EmberZNet Serial Protocol) interface. This include all hardware based on SoCs/Modules from Silabs EFR32MG21/MGM210 and EFR32MG12/MGM12 series.	Coordinator

Notes

• Support for the Conbee II (discussion), ZiGate USB-TTL (discussion), and Silicon Labs EZSP (discussion) is experimental, meaning not feature complete nor recommended for a stable enviroment.

I'm not sure if it should be added already, @kirovilya mentioned it's in the alpha stage currently

Maybe change PR to draft? Thought the comment about being "experimental" equals "dev" / "pre-alpha", "alpha" as well as "beta"?

My hope was to draw attention to Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman#319 so more developers join @kirovilya in improvement development.

@kirovilya Maybe EZSP support in Z2M could be listed as "pre-alpha"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

[kirovilya]

:) I didn't have such global plans.
I thought that alpha is when the basic functionality works and you can try to use it.

then, when the main functionality is implemented and it will be possible to offer to use it on an ongoing basis, there will be a beta.

a release can be considered the execution of all scheduled tasks.

FYI, EZSP adapter should work with all of these once have updated to Silicon Labs EmberZNet 6.7.x coordinator firmware or later:

FYI, EZSP adapter should work with all of these once have updated to Silicon Labs EmberZNet 6.7.x coordinator firmware or later:

• Zigbee 3.0 dongle from ITead (coming soon?) https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zigbee-3-0-usb-dongle-from-itead-based-on-silicon-labs-efr32mg21-soc/271144

FYI, the mentioned inexpensive yet powerful Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle from ITead is now available for $6.99 (US) directly from China:

Limited first production run and Silabs now has delayed parts so maybe not get greedy and perhaps let developers order first(?).
