- probe-run screwed up the last release 2 weeks ago and it's still not fixed (issue 391). Doesn't look well maintained.
- Even when it's not broken, it lags behind probe-rs-cli in new chips support because it's slow in updating probe-rs.
inline assembly is supported since rust 1.59, we're way past that.
enabling this makes the compiled code more compact, and on rp2040
even decreses memory usage by not needing thunks in sram.
This introduces a `Pender` struct with enum cases for thread-mode, interrupt-mode and
custom callback executors. This avoids calls through function pointers when using only
the thread or interrupt executors. Faster, and friendlier to `cargo-call-stack`.
`embassy-executor` now has `arch-xxx` Cargo features to select the arch and to enable
the builtin executors (thread and interrupt).

So we're going to do just that!
- BufferedUarte is lock-free now. No PeripheralMutex.
- The "restart DMA on line idle to flush it" hack is GONE. This means
- It'll work correctly without RTS/CTS now.
- It'll have better throughput when using RTS/CTS.
- Allows classes to handle vendor requests.
- Allows classes to use a single handler for multiple interfaces.
- Allows classes to access the other events (previously only `reset` was available).
