Peter Mitsis 9d63adf3ea Renames supported platform configurations
Renames supported platform configurations to conform to new platform
configuration naming scheme.

Example usage with PLATFORM_CONFIG:
    make PLATFORM_CONFIG=basic_cortex_m3
    make PLATFORM_CONFIG=basic_atom
    make PLATFORM_CONFIG=basic_minuteia
    make PLATFORM_CONFIG=galileo

  xxx_ti_lm3s6965_defconfig           -> xxx_basic_cortex_m3_defconfig
  xxx_generic_pc_atom_n28xx_defconfig -> xxx_basic_atom_defconfig
  xxx_generic_pc_minuteia_defconfig   -> xxx_basic_minuteia_defconfig
  xxx_quark_defconfig                 -> xxx_galileo_defconfig

Title:  test_tickless

Description:

This test verifies the timing accuracy of the tickless idle feature.

The test first calibrates itself by repeatedly sleeping for 10 ticks with the
tickless idle feature disabled.  It then repeats this process with the tickless
idle feature enabled.  Lastly, it compares the average measured duration of
each approach and displays the result.  The tick timing is correct if the
'diff ticks' with tickless enabled matches the SLEEP_TICKS (10) setting in
the source.

The demonstration utilizes microkernel resource APIs, timers and tickless
idle mode.

Building and Running Project:

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

    make 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
