This reverts commit 2668337f36.
The issue with potential breaking of the BLE RX path in the radio is fixed
since WS v1.12.0.

Instead of using systick the BT subsystem is now scheduled using a soft
timer. This means it is scheduled only when it is enabled.

The STM32WB has a problem when address resolution is enabled: under certain
conditions the MCU can get into a state where it draws an additional 10mA
or so and eventually ends up with a broken BLE RX path in the silicon. A
simple way to reproduce this is to enable address resolution (which is the
default for NimBLE) and start the device advertising. If there is enough
BLE activity in the vicinity then the device will at some point enter the
bad state and, if left long enough, will have permanent BLE RX damage.
STMicroelectronics are aware of this issue. The only known workaround at
this stage is to not enable address resolution, which is implemented by
this commit.

Prior to this commit, if C2 was busy (eg lots of BLE activity) then it may
not have had time to respond to the notification on the IPCC_CH_MM channel
by the time additional memory was available to put on that buffer. In such
a case C1 would modify the free buffer list while C2 was potentially
accessing it, and this would eventually lead to lost memory buffers (or a
corrupt linked list). If all buffers become lost then ACL packets
(asynchronous events) can no longer be delivered from C2 to C1.
This commit fixes this issue by waiting for C2 to indicate that it has
finished using the free buffer list.

Two of the defaults have also changed in this commit:
- MICROPY_HW_RFCORE_BLE_LSE_SOURCE changed from 1 to 0, which configures
the LsSource to be LSE (needed due to errata 2.2.1).
- MICROPY_HW_RFCORE_BLE_VITERBI_MODE changed from 0 to 1, which enables
Viterbi mode, following all the ST examples.

Don't clear the IPCC channel flag until we've actually handled the incoming
data, or else the wireless firmware may clobber the IPCC buffer if more
data arrives. This requires masking the IRQ until the data is handled.

This fixes the build for non-STM32WB based boards when the NimBLE submodule
has not been fetched, and also allows STM32WB boards to build with BLE
disabled.

This is needed to moderate concurrent access to the internal flash, as
while an erase/write is in progress execution will stall on the wireless
core due to the bus being locked.
This implements Figure 10 from AN5289 Rev 3.

This commit switches the STM32WB HCI interface (between the two CPUs) to
require the use of MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_USE_SYNC_EVENTS, and as a
consequence to require NimBLE. IPCC RX IRQs now schedule the NimBLE
handler to run via mp_sched_schedule.

This changes stm32 from using PENDSV to run NimBLE to use the MicroPython
scheduler instead. This allows Python BLE callbacks to be invoked directly
(and therefore synchronously) rather than via the ringbuffer.
The NimBLE UART HCI and event processing now happens in a scheduled task
every 128ms. When RX IRQ idle events arrive, it will also schedule this
task to improve latency.
There is a similar change for the unix port where the background thread now
queues the scheduled task.

When installing WS firmware, the very first GET_STATE can take several
seconds to respond (especially with the larger binaries like
BLE_stack_full).
Allows stm.rfcore_sys_hci to take an optional timeout, defaulting to
SYS_ACK_TIMEOUT_MS (which is 250ms).

The new functions provide FUS/WS status, version and SYS HCI commands:
- stm.rfcore_status()
- stm.rfcore_fw_version(fw_id)
- stm.rfcore_sys_hci(ogf, ocf, cmd)
The device info table has a different layout when core 2 is in FUS mode.
In particular it's larger than the 32 bytes used when in WS mode and if the
correct amount of space is not allocated then the end of the table may be
overwritten with other data (eg with FUS version 0.5.3). So update the
structure to fix this.
Also update rfcore.py to disable IRQs (which are enabled by rfcore.c), to
not depend on uctypes, and to not require the asm_thumb emitter.

Before this change there was up to a 128ms delay on incoming payloads from
CPU2 as it was polled by SysTick. Now the RX IRQ immediately schedules the
PendSV.
- Split tables and buffers into SRAM2A/2B.
- Use structs rather than word offsets to access tables.
- Use FLASH_IPCCDBA register value rather than option bytes directly.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
