Rename sched_tasks_busy() to sched_check_set_tasks_busy() and change
it to only return true if tasks are active (running or requested) for
two consecutive calls. This makes it less likely that timers will
yield to tasks except when tasks really are notably backlogged.
This also makes it less likely that multiple steppers controlling the
same rail will be interrupted by tasks mid-step. This should slightly
improve the timing, and make it less likely that a halt during
homing/probing will occur with these steppers taking a different
number of total steps.

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.

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

Avoid using linker magic to define the init, task, and shutdown
functions. Instead, use the compile_time_request system. This
simplifies the build and produces more efficient code.

Rename sched_timer_kick() to sched_timer_dispatch() and move its loop
into its callers in the board code. This eliminates the need to
export timer_try_set_next() from the board code.

Move sched_is_before() from sched.c to timer_is_before() in the board
specific timer code. This allows the board code to provide its own
definition.
Also, remove the sched_from_us() and sched_read_time() wrapper
functions and change the callers to directly invoke timer_from_us() /
timer_read_time().

Some architectures are faster passing regular integers than 8bit
integers. Use uint_fast8_t so that the architecture chooses the
appropriate type.
