The existing clock synchronization code has two flaws: intermittent
transmission latency during get_status requests can cause the
estimated clock to be too low, and the estimated clock calculation did
not take into account possible clock drift between samples. The
former could potentially lead to "Timer too close" errors and the
latter could potentially lead to "Move queue empty" errors.
Rework the code to avoid the above problems. It's not necessary to
estimate the micro-controller clock as an excellent estimate is
reported by the micro-controller (via the CLOCK_FREQ constant).
Account for a small drift from the reported value, and check on each
sample if the drift exceeds the expected limits. With a good starting
estimated clock, only the offset needs to be calculated. Use previous
offsets (and the estimated clock) in calculation of new offsets to
avoid intermittent latency from badly skewing the results. Finally,
add an additional time offset of one millisecond to account for any
minor inaccuracies.

If the reactor isn't running then implement pause using the system
sleep command. This simplifies the users of pause().

Move the logic to calculate and report the stepper's current position
from endstop.c to stepper.c. This localizes the stepper code into
stepper.c.

Add initial support for micro-controller resets via the Arduino reset
mechanism. Also, automatically attempt a firmware restart if the
printer CRC does not match.

Store a full 64bit uptime in the mcu and query it at the start of each
connection. This ensures the host's 64bit clock is always in synch
with the mcu's clock.

The normal system clock can have sudden jumps if the system clock is
changed. Use the system monotonic clock to avoid these sudden changes
in time.
It appears the Raspbian OS (which is used by OctoPi) is setup to
update the system clock upon network connectivity. This could cause
sudden system clock changes which could lead to Klippy processing
errors. Using the monotonic clock eliminates these issues.

The serialqueue_flush_ready() code was used to flush queue_step
commands during a homing operation. It's no longer necessary now that
moves during a homing operation use the normal message priority
system.

Add a DECL_CONSTANT macro to allow the firmware to define constants
that are to be exported to the host during the "identify" phase. This
replaces the existing hardcoded mechanism of scanning the Kconfig
header file for certain constants.

The arduino style serial port interfaces can reset the MCU when the
serial port is opened. Clearing the HUPCL flag makes this less

Setup the reactor and run the MCU connection code as a timer within
the reactor. The connection code will make use of reactor greenlets
so that it can wait for events during the connection phase.
