* device/arm: add system timer registers
Add SYST registers and bit definitions to device/arm.
Add a setup function.
Add an example that uses it to blink an LED.
* runtime/atsamd51: fix clock init code
The DPLL0 initialization should set LDRFRAC and LDR, not LDRFRAC twice.
Also explain what the magic numbers are doing.
Comparing slices against nil currently causes the slice to escape, due
to a limitation in LLVM 8. This leads to lots of unnecessary heap
allocations. With LLVM 9 and some modifications to TinyGo, this should
be fixed. However, this commit is an easy win right now.
Returning an error when both slices are nil is not necessary, when the
check is left out it should just do nothing.
For updating an SPI screen using the st7735 driver, this results in a
~7% performance win.
Instead of configuring machine.I2C0, machine.I2C1, etc. statically,
allow the pins to be set using machine.I2CConfig. This will also
automatically configure the correct pin mode for each pin instead of
having to specify that manually.
An optimization introduced in a04db67ea9
seems to have broken arduino uno compiled hex. Setting optimzation
flags to 1, 2, or s builds proper hex binaries though.
These patches have been the result of troubleshooting over slack:

The SPI peripheral in the nrf chips support double buffering, which
makes it possible to keep sending continuously. This change introduces
double buffering on the nrf chips, which should improve SPI performance.
Tested on the pca10040 (nrf52832).
Compared to the already supported stm32f103xx "bluepill" board this:
- features 128 KiB flash memory size ("RB" suffix) instead of 64 KiB, see `targets/stm32f103rb.ld`
- has onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 programmer and debugger requiring different OpenOCD configuration file
- uses USART2 connected to ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger as virtual COM port over USB for `putchar()`
- has a user-accessible button besides the reset button
Motivation: The bluepill uses USART1 as UART0 but other boards like the
STM32 Nucleo boards (and disco as well) use USART2 for USB COM port.
To avoid duplication of code the same pattern as in `machine_atsamd21.go`
is applied where only UART-specific code is moved to `board_*.go`.
The SPI frequency is broken since b8c326d710
added I2C interface and changed the unrelated `PCLK2 = HCLK/4` initialization
to `PCLK2 = HCLK/1` (but I2C uses PCLK1 anyways).
This commit changes all baud rate prescalers to be /4 compared to before.
Note: it is not possible to find an equivalent for 125 KHz SPI speed,
it will be too fast (`f = 72 MHz / 256`)
False positives (pointers that point to nowhere but happen to point into
the heap) would result in the block just before that pointer to be
marked. This is clearly not intended, so ignore such a pointer.
