The tmcuart_send command increases cpu usage on the micro-controller.
Should multiple tmcuart_send commands be issued at the same time to a
single AVR micro-controller, it could increase the load to the point
that it introduces a failure. It could also lead to tmcuart_send
transmission errors, which would cause retransmission requests, which
further increase the load.
Track and share mutexes so that only one tmcuart_send command can be
active on a single mcu at a time.

Use new mcu.lookup_query_command() for all commands that query
information from the micro-controller.

Convert standard queries to use the acknowledgments of the sent
command to determine if the response was received or not. This also
controls command retransmissions (should the response have been lost).
The tmc_uart.py will continue to use the old mechanism as the tmcuart
responses are not sent synchronously with the query command.

A print_time of zero may translate to a negative clock on a secondary
micro-controller, which would cause an internal error. Change the
code to pass a real print_time or None if it is not needed.
