So far all received bytes over UART where blindly drained and pushed to
ring_buf. This approach is okay for UART devices without configured HW
flow control, as it basically decouples data processing from ISR handler
and gives more time before data overrun. However when HW flow control
is enabled, such behavior somehow suppresses UART flow control
advantage, because data can overrun when pushing to ring_buf.
Allow drivers utilizing modem_context framework to pass information
about whether HW flow control is enabled or not. If it is enabled, then
read data from UART FIFO to the point when RX ring_buf is totally filled
and follow such situation by disabling RX interrupt. Incoming data will
be paused on HW level, so there is lots of time for RX thread to process
ring_buf content. Reenable RX interrupts after all data in ring_buf is
processed, so that number of context switches is kept at minimum level.
