Give C++ access to the RTOS's absolute timebase, reducing the need to
run private Timers and similar. Allows wait_until functionality, and
makes it easier to avoid time drift.
Place it in a new header and namespace in case we want more kernel
functions in future.
Try to cover over the breaking API change potentially upcoming in
CMSIS-RTOS 2.1.1, when it reduces the tick count from 64-bit to 32-bit.
(See https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/issues/277)
Explicitly state that ticks are milliseconds in mbed OS, despite CMSIS
RTOS 2 permitting different tick rates.
See also https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/3648 (wait_until
for condition variables) and
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/issues/5378 (EventQueue should
use RTOS tick count).
Make calls to cmsis-os to get thread state, stack size, and max stack
usage rather than accessing internal RTX data directly. Wrap RTX5
specific code in OS_BACKEND_RTX5.
Also refactor the code to use mbed types rather than RTX types:
os_timer_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_timer_t
os_event_flags_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_event_flags_t
osRtxMutex_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_thread_t
