Christian Walther b10182bbcc nrf: Fix non-running LFCLK.
Under some circumstances, after a hard reset, the low-frequency clock would
not be running.  This caused time.ticks_ms() to return 0, time.sleep_ms()
to get stuck, and other misbehavior.  A soft reboot would return it to a
working state.

The cause was a race condition that was hit when the bootloader would
itself turn LFCLK on, but turn it off again shortly before launching the
main application (this apparently happens with the Adafruit bootloader
from https://github.com/fanoush/ds-d6/tree/master/micropython).  Stopping
the clock is an asynchronous operation and it continues running for a short
time after the stop command is given.  When MicroPython checked whether to
start it by looking at the LFCLKSTAT register (nrf_clock_lf_is_running)
during that time, it would mistakenly not be started again.  What
MicroPython should be looking at is not whether the clock is running at
this time, but whether a start/stop command has been given, which is
indicated by the LFCLKRUN register (nrf_clock_lf_start_task_status_get).
It is not clearly documented, but empirically LFCLKRUN is not just set when
the LFCLKSTART task is triggered, but also cleared when the LFCLKSTOP task
is triggered, which is exactly what we need.

The matter is complicated by the fact that the nRF52832 has an anomaly
(see [errata](https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/errata_nRF52832_Rev3/ERR/nRF52832/Rev3/latest/anomaly_832_132.html?cp=5_2_1_0_1_33))
where starting the LFCLK will not work between 66µs and 138µs after it last
stopped. Apply a workaround for that.  See nrfx_clock_lfclk_start() in
micropython/lib/nrfx/drivers/src/nrfx_clock.c for reference, but we are not
using that because it also does other things and makes the code larger.
