Add cross-core int to accelerate task being awoken from another CPU.
This adds a per-CPU interrupt that can be used to poke the CPU to go do something. In this case all that is implemented is a request to yield the current task, used in case a CPU unblocks a task that runs on another CPU. This gets rid of the limitation that inter-CPU communication using queues, muxes etc can take up to a FreeRTOS tick to happen.
Specs!
Sending an in in a queue of length 1 (essentially a semaphore) as quickly as possible (just a small delay in the sender, to make sure the receiver task gets swapped out) for 10 seconds. Number indicates the amount of ints transferred
Old code:
CPU0->CPU0: 42986
CPU0->CPU1,: 2999
New code:
CPU0->CPU0: 42868
CPU0->CPU1: 62073

Feature/wdts
This adds two watchdogs to esp-idf:
- An interrupt watchdog. Kicks in if the FreeRTOS timer interupt on either the PRO_CPU or (when configured) the APP CPU isn't called for a configurable time. Panics, displaying which CPU caused the problem and the registers that may lead to the offending code.
- A task watchdog. A task has to feed it every once in a while. If not, it will print the name of the offending tasks, as well as the tasks currently running on both CPUs, and optionally panic.
Also adds a panic reason to the panic call, as well as fixes the panic code a bit.

Workaround: Automatically pin no-cpu-affinity task to a core when FPU is used
FPU status at the moment does not migrate cleanly between cores, so tasks without affinity that happen to migrate across FPUs will run into problems. As a workaround, this modification will automatically pin the task to the current CPU when FPU activity is detected. If anything, it's better than getting all kinds of weird and wonderful FPU corruption issues...

This feature allows to use static buffers (or from a pool of memory which is not
controlled by FreeRTOS).
In order to reduce the impact of the changes, the static feature has only been added
to the queus (and in consequence to the semaphores and the mutexes) and the tasks.
The Timer task is always dynamically allocated and also the idle task(s), which in the
case of the ESP-IDF is ok, since we always need to have dynamic allocation enabled.
The thread-local-storage feature in FreeRTOS attaches an application-usable array of pointers to a thread control block. These pointers usually point to a structure the thread allocates. When a thread gets (voluntarily or involuntarily) destroyed, this memory can leak. This merge adds a matching second array of user-settable pointers to destructor routines. As soon as the task gets cleaned up (which happens in the idle thread), the destructors get called and the memory can be freed.
