mbed RTC specifications now dictate that the RTC needs to retain and keep on counting through reset. On Silicon Labs parts, this means the RTC API can not be backed by the Silicon Labs RTC peripheral, since that doesn't provide retention functionality.
Therefore:
* On EFM32GG, EFM32WG, EFM32LG: mbed RTC API is now backed by BURTC.
* On EFM32PG, EFR32MG, EFM32PG12, EFR32MG12: mbed RTC API is now backed by RTCC.
* On EFM32ZG, EFM32HG: mbed RTC API is sadly no longer supported, since these chips don't have retained memory.
Re-implemented both us_ticker and lp_ticker to match the new API and specifications.
Details:
* On EFM32GG, EFM32WG, EFM32LG, EFM32HG, EFM32ZG: Use the RTC peripheral to back lp_ticker, and a TIMER to back us_ticker.
* On EFM32PG, EFR32MG, EFM32PG12, EFR32MG12: Use the RTCC peripheral to back lp_ticker (dual-purpose, also used to back RTC), and a TIMER to back us_ticker.

This commit fixes#5840. Fix verified by running mbed_hal-lp_ticker test suite with preloaded RTC counter such that it wrapped in the middle of the suite.
Also removes explicit sleep blocking from the us_ticker implementation, since sleep blocking for us tickers is done at mbed HAL level now. This was causing one of the lp_ticker tests to fail.
fire_interrupt function should be used for events in the past. As we have now
64bit timestamp, we can figure out what is in the past, and ask a target to invoke
an interrupt immediately. The previous attemps in the target HAL tickers were not ideal, as it can wrap around easily (16 or 32 bit counters). This new
functionality should solve this problem.
set_interrupt for tickers in HAL code should not handle anything but the next match interrupt. If it was in the past is handled by the upper layer.
It is possible that we are setting next event to the close future, so once it is set it is already in the past. Therefore we add a check after set interrupt to verify it is in future.
If it is not, we fire interrupt immediately. This results in
two events - first one immediate, correct one. The second one might be scheduled in far future (almost entire ticker range),
that should be discarded.
The specification for the fire_interrupts are:
- should set pending bit for the ticker interrupt (as soon as possible),
the event we are scheduling is already in the past, and we do not want to skip
any events
- no arguments are provided, neither return value, not needed
- ticker should be initialized prior calling this function (no need to check if it is already initialized)
All our targets provide this new functionality, removing old misleading if (timestamp is in the past) checks.
* Using PinName as bitfield doesn't work without warnings, since NC
needs all 32 bits to be represented.
* lp_ticker should not be freed when interrupt is disabled, since this
will kill the timebase.
Moving the per-board clock configuration (which oscillators are available on the board, their frequencies, and which ones to use) as config options to the target database. This way, they're more easily overridable when third parties start creating boards with EFM32 MCUs
