This commit changes the number of wait states for the stm32f103 chip to
2 instead of 4. This gets it back in line with the datasheet, but it
also has the side effect of breaking I2C. Therefore, another (seemingly
unrelated) change is needed: the i2cTimeout constant must be increased
to a higher value to adjust to the lower flash wait states - presumably
because the lower number of wait states allows the chip to run code
faster.
This commit refactors both determining the current time and sleeping for
a given time. It also improves precision for many chips.
* The nrf chips had a long-standing TODO comment about a slightly
inaccurate clock. This should now be fixed.
* The SAM D2x/D5x chips may have a slightly more accurate clock,
although probably within the error margin of the RTC. Also, by
working with RTC ticks and converting in the least number of places,
code size is often slightly reduced (usually just a few bytes, up to
around 1kB in some cases).
* I believe the HiFive1 rev B timer was slightly wrong (32768Hz vs
30517.6Hz). Because the datasheet says the clock runs at 32768Hz,
I've used the same conversion code here as in the nrf and sam cases.
* I couldn't test both stm32 timers, so I kept them as they currently
are. It may be possible to make them more efficient by using the
native tick frequency instead of using microseconds everywhere.
This commit lets the compiler know about interrupts and allows
optimizations to be performed based on that: interrupts are eliminated
when they appear to be unused in a program. This is done with a new
pseudo-call (runtime/interrupt.New) that is treated specially by the
compiler.
