a874fddadd tests: timer_behavior: Use bigger drift tolerance for nRF RTC timer
Use 13% instead of the default 10% when the nRF RTC timer is used
so that the allowed drift is at least one tick long (~122 us in
this case).

c55266a925 tests: kernel: timer_behavior: Decrease tick rate for nRF
Nordic targets use 24-bit RTC peripheral for system clock. Nordic system
clock timeout implementation relies on RTC CC (capture compare) when
the timeout is in future. Nordic system clock driver allows setting
alarm only to 3 or more counts from current counter value due to silicon
limitation (to ensure that CC event triggers before counter overflow).

RTC CC limitation does not have much impact on normal applications where
there is no need to schedule such short timeouts, but is problematic in
a timer test that expects being able to repeatedly schedule timeouts on
subsequent ticks.

Reduce system tick rate to 8192 on nRF targets to allow setting CC to
the very next tick. With system tick rate being 4 times less than the
hardware tick rate, it is always possible to schedule timeout to happen
in the next tick because ticks are 4 counts apart, i.e. current timer
value + 3 never runs past the next tick.

Fixes: #54211

a30a65215d tests: kernel: timer_behavior: Fix building on targets with small SRAM
In the default configuration of the test, with 10000 timer samples,
the `periodic_data` array is too big to fit in SRAM on many targets.
Use lower counts of samples for those, depending on their SRAM size,
leaving at least 8 kB for other variables, buffers, stacks etc.
Exclude the test for targets with less than 16 kB.

02f5e14b65 test: timer: behavior: Enhancement for running this test
Zephyr timer is based on system ticks, there usually exists some time drift
due to round up/down errors between cycles, ticks and time delay, we
need to add those expected time drift into the bound calculation for
running this test.
Add a new config TIMER_TEST_PERIOD_MAX_DRIFT_PERCENT for users to set
expected maximum drift percentage for the timer period.

fafb4d70b5 kernel: Timer behavioral testing
Test and validate the behavior of a timer driver.

Takes a number of absolute timer cycle samples of a periodic timer then
calculates statistical mean, variance, stddev along with total drift over
the entire test time. Ensures standard deviation and drift are within
a given configurable bound.
