Allan Stephens e3108813cc Revise misleading instructions in sample project README.txt files
Removes the instruction directing users to issue "make pristine"
before building a sample project, as this should be unnecessary
under normal circumstances and can cause the user to unexpectedly
lose their current configuration information. In its place, a section
on troubleshooting is added that describes how to rebuild a project
using the desired configuration.

Title: Microkernel low resolution timer test suite

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()
  task_node_tick_delta(), task_node_tick_get_32()

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

Building and Running Project:

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

    make microkernel.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

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

Sample Output:
