Benjamin Walsh 3c66686a43 sys_clock: start the microkernel ticker in the MICROKERNEL init level
The ticker was always initialized in the NANOKERNEL init level. In a
microkernel, this can cause problems if for the some reason the
initialization of the microkernel server is delayed, such as devices
initialization in the NANOKERNEL level taking non-insignificant time to
complete. What happens in that case is the ticker ISR will start firing
and piling up events in the microkernel server stack, and quite quickly
overrun it, since it has a finite size, causing random crashes.

So, in the microkernel, initialize the ticker once the microkernel
server is available. There is no point in sending ticker event before
anyway.

/**
* @file
* @brief Initialize system clock driver
*
* Initializing the timer driver is done in this module to reduce code
* duplication. Although both nanokernel and microkernel systems initialize
* the timer driver at the same point, the two systems differ in when the system
* can begin to process system clock ticks. A nanokernel system can process
* system clock ticks once the driver has initialized. However, in a
* microkernel system all system clock ticks are deferred (and stored on the
* kernel server command stack) until the kernel server fiber starts and begins
* processing any queued ticks.
