Timers, periodic or not, can now be restarted thanks to esp_timer_restart function.
This is done atomically, which can be used to feed a periodic timer, or simply change the period.
esp_light_sleep_start() will stall the other CPU via esp_ipc_isr_stall_other_cpu(). After stalling the other CPU,
will call esp_clk_... API which themselves take locks. If the other stalled CPU is holding those locks, this will
result in a deadlock.
This commit adds a workaround calling esp_clk_private_lock() to take the lock before stalling the other CPU.
Added the following new APIs to the esp_timer module:
- esp_timer_get_period(): Returns the period of a timer in microseconds.
- esp_timer_get_expiry_time(): Returns the timeout value of a one-shot timer in microseconds.

- Added an option to skip unhandled events for periodic timers. Useful for light sleep.
- Added doc about this case
- Added Test a latency between a call of callback and real event (14-16us). and UT to check skip_unhandled_events.
- Fixed for esp_timer_dump() if name of timer is NULL
- Refactored timer_process_alarm()
- Added the delete function after using in UTs
