Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I would like to see support for the ST VL53L1X Tine of Flight sensor within ESPHome. Currently this has to be implemented via a custom component.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
This is to be used alongside a Lolin D1 Mini Pro board in order to measure fluid level in an oil tank.
There is support for the ST VL53L0X Time of Flight sensor, however this sensor uses 8 bit I2C registers. The VL53L1X uses 16 bit I2C registers. References to previous requests for this sensor and 16 bit address support:

**Additional context**
The latest 2 releases of the ESPHome addon for Hone Assistant no longer compile the custom component correctly. Details of compile error are here:
