Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Add a Distance Sensor component for [vl53l0x](https://esphome.io/components/sensor/vl53l0x) its counterpart the vl53l1x.
Where the 0x measures up to 2 meter distance, the 1x range is 4cm tot 4m.
The existing 0x component is based on the [Pololu](https://github.com/pololu) [VL53L0X library for Arduino](https://github.com/pololu/vl53l0x-arduino). They also have the [VL53L1X library for Arduino](https://github.com/pololu/vl53l1x-arduino) library available.
So, I would say that, someone with some ESPHome and CPP development experience this is quite doable. 😄
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I've bought the M5Stack ToF4M Unit containing the VL53L1X. I'd like to measure the position of my garage door motor to know the sectional door position (height).
**Additional context**
Of course I'm happy to test the component in any workable (alpha / beta) state.
