Simplify the interrupt-based timer code in a few ways:
- Do not recalibrate the timer every 100ms. Instead, rely on the fact
that the machine package will calbrate the timer if necessary if it
makes changes to Timer0.
- Do not configure Timer0 and then set nanosecondsInTick based on that
value. Instead, use a fixed value.
These two changes together mean that in code that doesn't use PWM,
nanosecondsInTick will be constant which makes the TIMER0_OVF interrupt
handler a lot smaller.
Together this reduces the code size of AVR binaries by about 1200 bytes,
making it pretty close to the pre-timer code size (only about 250 bytes
larger).
It also somehow fixes a problem with
tinygo.org/x/drivers/examples/ws2812 on the Arduino Uno. I'm not quite
sure what was going wrong, but bisecting pointed towards the timer code
(https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2428) and with this
simplification the bug appears to be gone.
