Describe the new feature or enhancement
There are gists available for using PyEDFlib to write EDF files, and pyedflib seems to be relatively well maintained and used.
This proposal is to enable exporting EDF files, with a warning of course that there maybe loss of data in the info object. This would also enable mne-bids to perform writing EDF file datasets, which is a RECOMMENDED file format for storage of EEG/iEEG data.
In addition, this would enable writing to an open-access file format that is heavily interfaced in EEG industry. For example, Persyst, an EEG-analytics company can only read in manufacturing formats (natus/NK/etc.) and EDF. It cannot read fiff, BrainVision, or other open source formats.
Describe your proposed implementation
This would extend #9192 to add EDF file exporting. This would add an optional dependency with pyedflib (https://github.com/holgern/pyedflib).
