Description
### Description
Basically, I have a belt printer and the Y-Axis is the conventional Z axis in a regular printer. I usedd BLTOUCH on the Y axis for the printer and it didnt work, mainly because of the fact that BLTOUCH is only for Z-AXIS. Support for this would be nice.
### Feature Workflow
1. Turn on Y Axis Probe
2. Use like regular sensor

Research direction
Search the Marlin codebase for BLTOUCH and the existing Z-axis probe handling, then trace how probe-axis configuration is represented. Confirm the intended Y-axis workflow from the issue and identify the relevant configuration and motion paths. Done means a Y-axis probe can be enabled and used like the existing probe behavior, with hardware testing on a belt printer.
