Merge branch 'feature/crosscore_int' into 'master'

Add cross-core int to accelerate task being awoken from another CPU.

This adds a per-CPU interrupt that can be used to poke the CPU to go do something. In this case all that is implemented is a request to yield the current task, used in case a CPU unblocks a task that runs on another CPU. This gets rid of the limitation that inter-CPU communication using queues, muxes etc can take up to a FreeRTOS tick to happen.

Specs!
Sending an in in a queue of length 1 (essentially a semaphore) as quickly as possible (just a small delay in the sender, to make sure the receiver task gets swapped out) for 10 seconds. Number indicates the amount of ints transferred

Old code:

CPU0->CPU0: 42986

CPU0->CPU1,: 2999

New code:

CPU0->CPU0: 42868

CPU0->CPU1: 62073
