This commit optimizes the `gpio_conf_t` type in the following
regards:
- The "base" `gpio_conf_t` is stripped from members that only some
platforms support, e.g. drive strength, slew rate, and disabling of
the Schmitt Trigger are no longer universally available but
platform-specific extensions
- The `gpio_conf_t` is now crammed into a bit-field that is 8 bit or
16 bit wide. This allows for storing lots of them e.g. in
`driver_foo_params_t` or `uart_conf_t` etc.
- A `union` of the `struct` with bit-field members and a `bits` is used
to allow accessing all bits in a simple C statement and to ensure
alignment for efficient handling of the type

Added a low level implementation of timer_set() that allows setting relative
timeouts as short as 0. This results in tests/periph_timer_short_relative_set
no passing.
ATmega128RFA1/ATmega256RFR2 do not have a unique CPU ID.
Use the RC oscillator callibration byte as an impromptu CPU ID and rely
on bootlader constants present on all ATmega families for the remaining
bytes.
This way we can provide a faux CPU ID on all ATmega MCUs and typical hobbyists
with no access to JTAG adapters or high voltage programmer capable of writing
the user signature have a good chance that the CPU IDs of their device do not collide.
