boards/msb-430: Fix periph config & improve doc

The pins P5.2, P5.1, P5.3 configured as SPI pins are only routed to
USART1 and not to USART0, but previously USART0 was configured as
peripheral backing the bus. This fixes the peripheral configuration by
changing it to USART1.

This is quite unfortunate as USART1 is also used to provide the UART
interface used for `stdio`. Hence, one can either use `stdio` or SPI.
A feature conflict between UART and SPI has therefore been added.

Note that while it would be possible to use P3.2, P3.1, P3.3 to provide
SPI with USART0, this would not work in practise: P3.1 and P3.3 are
connected to the CC1020 transceiver.

Switching to P3.4/P3.5 for UART to provide it using USART 0 would also
resolve the resource conflict. However, these pins are not available
via any of the header and would require soldering the UART<->USB
adapter directly to the pins of the MCU chip on the PCB. It is therefore
much more user friendly to keep the UART bus backed by USART1 to use
pins P3.6 and P3.7 that are easily accessible via the pin header.

@warning The MSP430F1612 has two USARTS, which can be configured as UART,
SPI, or (only in case of USART0) as I2C bus. Each USART can only
provide one serial interface at a time; time sharing is
theoretically possible but not yet implemented.

### Hardware Limitations
The GPIOs on the MSP430F1612 only have two MUX settings: Being used as digital
input/output or routed to a peripheral. The MCU has two universal serial
synchronous/asynchronous communication interfaces (USARTs), which can be
used to provide either an UART, an SPI, or (only in case of USART0) an I2C bus.
Every USART signal is available at exactly one GPIO pin.
The UART exposed via the battery holder board (P3.6 and P3.7) can only be
provided via USART1. In order to support asynchronous reception (e.g. to allow
interaction via the shell), USART1 needs to be continuously configured as UART
and cannot be used to provide an SPI bus.
The SPI bus connected to the SD card socket (P5.1, P5.2, and P5.3) can only
be provided via USART1. Hence, it is not possible to use SPI bus connected to
the SD card socket while the UART used for `stdio` is in use, as they use the
same USART. They could be used at the same time, if module `stdin` is not used
(the UART is output only). However, sharing USARTs is not yet implemented.
The SPI bus of the CC1020 transceiver (used for configuration only) is connected
to pins P2.0, P2.1, and P2.3. Those pins are not connected to either USART, so
no hardware SPI can be used to interact with the transceiver. However, the SPI
is only used for configuration and control of the transceiver, so using a slow
bit-banging SPI bus won't affect the performance of the transceiver, other than
for quick power down after transmission or channel hopping. A second two
wire serial interface (not I2C or compatible) is used to feed data into
the CC1020 or read data from the CC1020. The serial clock is driven by the
transceiver and the MCU needs to keep up with providing the frames to send
bit by bit. Unlike modern transceivers, the CC1020 has no frame buffer and the
MCU needs to control the transmission and reception on the bit level.
