Title: Low Resolution Timer

Description:

This test verifies the following low resolution microkernel timer APIs operate
as expected:
  task_timer_alloc (), task_timer_free()
  task_timer_start(), task_timer_restart(), task_timer_stop()
  sys_tick_delta(), sys_tick_get_32()

Also verifies the nanokernel timeouts can work alongside the microkernel timers.

Building and Running Project:

This microkernel project outputs to the console.  It can be built and executed
on QEMU as follows:

    make qemu

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting:

Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:

    make clean          # discard results of previous builds
                        # but keep existing configuration info
or
    make pristine       # discard results of previous builds
                        # and restore pre-defined configuration info
