URL: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/16715

   ## Summary
   
   Since the ADS1115 has a relatively slow conversion rate, this additional 
ioctl command makes it possible to trigger a conversion before reading the 
reading the conversion result, allowing the user to perform other computation 
in between instead of waiting for the conversion time to complete. It improves 
sampling time.
   
   ## Impact
   
   Users can parallelize sampling of the ADS1115 ADC to avoid delays from 
sleeping while waiting for the conversion time duration.
   
   ## Testing
   
   Tested on a rocketry system with 4 ADS1115s in the sensor array. This change 
allowed parallezation to speed up sampling from 10Hz to 15Hz per channel per 
ADC.
   
   @bskdany performed this testing, as did I.
