It's no longer necessary to use the TICKS() hack as the config
commands are now all generated after the mcu speed is known.

It should no longer be necessary to configure "custom" commands during
mcu setup. The ad5206 and static_digital_output config sections
should provide similar functionality.

Support an "ad5206" config section so that one can configure the
digipots found on Reprap "RAMBo" boards.

Allow digital and PWM output pins to be setup via new config
sections. This makes it easier to setup pin configurations.

The MCU() class needs to track the stepqueues so that it can
initialize the steppersync object. Track the stepqueues directly
instead of via the list of steppers.

Track the oid count separately from the configurable object count -
this way it is possible to have internal objects that don't require an
oid in the mcu.

It's not necessary to register and execute "init callbacks" when
configuring the mcu. Instead, have each mcu object produce its init
messages in the build_config() callback.

Allow multiple chips to provide pin mappings (not just the main mcu
chip). Move the pin parsing from the mcu.py code to pins.py and
support mapping from pin descriptions to their corresponding chips and
parameters.

Store pertinent information from the software startup in a dictionary
that the various printer components can access instead of in
individual variables in the Printer() class. This makes it easier to
add future command-line options.

Store the underlying temperature and resistance values instead of the
Steinhart-Hart coefficents obtained from them. This makes it easier
to add new thermistors.

Compile the PRU binary with -Os optimization, but request that the
timer dispatch code be compiled with -O2 optimization. This improves
the performance of timers slightly.
Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>
The gcc -Os option significantly reduces the size of the PRU binary
and it has little impact on performance.

The command_encodef() can read the max_size parameter directly from
the 'struct command_encoder' passed into it. Also, there is no need
to check that a message will fit in a buffer if the buffer is declared
to be MESSAGE_MAX in size.

Go back to scheduling the unstep time instead of busy waiting in the
timer dispatch. With the unstep time increased to 2us, it no longer
makes sense to spin while waiting for the unstep.

Allow timer_dispatch_many() to run for extended periods if there are
no tasks pending. This reduces the amount of lost cpu time spent
entering and exiting the irq handler.

Now that tasks are only run when needed it's common for there to be a
larger variation in task execution time. When graphing load, consider
a 99-percentile task duration of 2.5ms to be 100% loaded (up from
1ms).

Send a "startup" message after completing the mcu init functions.

Track when tasks are pending and spin in irq_wait() when no tasks are
pending. This improves the mechanism for sleeping the processor -
it's simpler for the board specific code and it reduces the
possibility of the processor sleeping when tasks are busy.

Add function to indicate when tasks need to be run. This will allow
the scheduler code to know if there are any tasks that need to be
processed.

Don't rely on the generic scheduler code to always have a timer no
more than 1ms in the future. Instead, create an avr specific timer
that will be called every 0x8000 ticks. This simplifies the generic
code and it reduces the amount of code that needs to be run every
millisecond.

If sched_add_timer() is called on a timer that would make it the new

It's not necessary to keep a millisecond counter. Replace the two

The simulavr simulator will warn when writing to the watchdog

Keep the homing code separate from the main stepper class. This makes
it easier to verify the correct config parameters are provided.

Instead of limiting the amount of non-acked messages to 50ms, limit
the amount to one round-trip-time. This should make it less likely
that the mcu will be overloaded and it should make retransmits faster.
