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.

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.
This may help detect mcu reboots during debugging.

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
head of the list, then add it and signal the board code that the timer
should be rescheduled.

It's not necessary to keep a millisecond counter. Replace the two
users of sched_check_periodic() with explicit task wakeup flags.

The simulavr simulator will warn when writing to the watchdog
registers, but running code closer to what real hardware runs is worth
a few extra warnings.

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.

The first message always has a sync byte with it, so its size should
be one larger. Also, the idle_time should always be the minimum time
that the message could be received, so it should always be reset to
eventtime on a retransmit.

If a nak message causes a retransmission then also accept a second nak
message as long as it is for a sequence greater than the first nak.
This should allow faster retransmits when there are multiple
transmission errors in a small time period.

Track the sequence number of the message last retransmitted (not the
sequence number of the next message to be transmitted). This fixes a
small possibility of a valid nak not being honored.
Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>
If a retransmit is triggered by a nak, then it is not necessary to
increase the rto. The next retransmit time should be based on the
expected reception of the first retransmitted message, not the last.
