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.

package ws2812
// This file implements the WS2812 protocol for various Cortex-M
// microcontrollers. It is intended to work with various variants: M0, M0+, M3,
// and M4. Because machine.CPUFrequency() is usually a constant, the value will
// usually be constant-propagated and the switch below will be a direct
// (inlinable function) - thus there is usually no code size penalty over build
// tags per CPU speed.
