This makes all rp2040 boards available for simulation using
-tags=<board_name>. Importantly, this includes the Gopher Badge which
I'm working on to add to the TinyGo Playground.
This improves slightly. It also is some groundwork for better DMA
support in TinyGo in the future.
I'm not entirely sure why it improves performance (in theory the old
code should already saturate the SPI bus) but it does, so 🤷
This can be very useful for some purposes:
* It makes it possible to disable the UART in cases where it is not
needed or needs to be disabled to conserve power.
* It makes it possible to disable the serial output to reduce code
size, which may be important for some chips. Sometimes, a few kB can
be saved this way.
* It makes it possible to override the default, for example you might
want to use an actual UART to debug the USB-CDC implementation.
It also lowers the dependency on having machine.Serial defined, which is
often not defined when targeting a chip. Eventually, we might want to
make it possible to write `-target=nrf52` or `-target=atmega328p` for
example to target the chip itself with no board specific assumptions.
The defaults don't change. I checked this by running `make smoketest`
before and after and comparing the results.
