ws2812: generate assembly instead of handwriting it

Previously, a new implementation had to be written for each processor
speed. This is tedious and error-prone, therefore I've rewritten all of
the assembly code using a tool that will calculate exactly how many NOP
instructions are required.

I've also switched from build tags to a switch statement over all
processor speeds.

All in all, this means that:
  - Chips with a supported CPU performance will automatically be
    supported (no build tags necessary).
  - Adding a new chip is as easy as adding the MHz count to the
    generator script and to the switch statement.

Right now this is only for the Cortex-M, but it's certainly feasible to
extend this to other architectures such as the AVR.

// This file generates assembly to precisely time the WS2812 protocol for
// various chips. Just add a new frequency below and run `go generate` to add
// the new assembly implementation - no fiddly timings to calculate and no nops
// to count!
//
// Right now this is specific to Cortex-M chips and assume the following things:
// - Arithmetic operations (shift, add, sub) take up 1 clock cycle.
// - The nop instruction also takes up 1 clock cycle.
// - Store instructions (to the GPIO pins) take up 2 clock cycles.
// - Branch instructions can take up 1 to 3 clock cycles. On the Cortex-M0, this
// depends on whether the branch is taken or not. On the M4, the documentation
// is less clear but it appears the instruction is still 1 to 3 cycles
// (possibly including some branch prediction).
// It is certainly possible to extend this to other architectures, such as AVR
// and RISC-V if needed.
// Clock frequencies to support, in MHz.
