- Move common code for USART (shared SPI / UART peripheral) to its
own file and allow sharing the USART peripheral to provide both
UART and SPI in round-robin fashion.
- Configure both UART and SPI bus via a `struct` in the board's
`periph_conf.h`
- this allows allocating the two UARTs as needed by the use case
- since both USARTs signals have a fixed connection to a single
GPIO, most configuration is moved to the CPU
- the board now only needs to decide which bus is provided by
which USART
Note: Sharing an USART used as UART requires cooperation from the app:
- If the UART is used in TX-only mode (no RX callback), the driver
will release the USART while not sending
- If the UART is used to also receive, the application needs to power
the UART down while not expecting something to send. An
`spi_acquire()` will be blocked while the UART is powered up.
- add support for multiple timers
- add support for selecting clock source in the board's `periph_conf.h`
- add support for the prescaler
- implement `periph_timer_query_freqs`
- add a second timer to all MSP430 boards
- the first timer is fast ticking, high-power
- the second is slow ticking, low-power
The MSP430 vendor files already provide macros containing register
constants and symbols (provided via linker scripts) containing addresses
of peripheral registers. So lets make use of that rather than
maintaining a long list of constants.
RIOT supports two distinct families of the MSP430: The [MSP430 x1xx]
MCU family and the [MSP430 F2xx/G2xx] MCU family. For both incompatible
MCU families the code was located in the msp430fxyz folder, resulting
in case of the UART driver in particularly bizarre code looking roughly
like this:
#ifndef UART_USE_USCI
/* implementation of x1xx peripheral ... */
#else
/* implementation of F2xx/G2xx peripheral ... */
#endif
/* zero shared code between both variants */
This splits the peripheral drivers for USCI and USART serial IP blocks
into separate files and relocates everything in cpu/msp430, similar to
how cpu/stm32 is organized.

The statement about the missing pin 1 marking on the JTAG header is
not correct. It's just a bit hidden between the JTAG header and the
power selector jumper.
