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).
It currently contains whoever was first to write some code for the crate,
even if many more people have contributed to it later.
The field is "sort of" deprecated, it was made optional recently:
https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3052-optional-authors-field.html
Due the the reasons listed there I believe removing it is better than
setting it to generic fluff like "The Embassy contributors".
Rustflags apply to ALL the crates in the graph, while we only need
them for the toplevel crate which is the only one getting linked.
Rustflags are not equal for all crates, this caused cargo to re-build the
same dependency crate multiple times uselessly. After this change, deps
are reused more, making builds faster.
Note that this only applies when sharing the target/ dir for multiple crates
in the repo which is not the default.
