Preparing for new release...
Kernel changes:
- Remove an assert that was preventing xQueueSendFromISR() being used to give a mutex from an ISR (mutexes cannot be given using xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()).
- Introduce xTaskNotifyAndQueryFromISR() as the interrupt safe version of xTaskNotifyAndQuery().
Common demo task changes:
- Update IntSemTest.c to prove the theory that it is safe to give a mutex type semaphore from an interrupt using xQueueSendFromISR() instead of xSemaphoreGiveFromISR().
- Update TaskNotify.c to test the new xTaskNotifyAndQuery() from ISR fuction.
MSP430:
Add additional NOPs as required by hardware manual.
Microblaze:
Previously a task inherited the exception enable state from the context from which xTaskCreate() was called. Now tasks all have exceptions enabled if they are enabled in the hardware.
Windows/GCC:
Improve the implementation of portGET_HIGHEST_PRIORITY.
Common code:
Simplify the pointer use in xQueueGenericCreate()
Demo apps:
Remove jpg images that were used to create web pages.
Fix capitalisation issues in some demos where some header files are incldued with the wrong case, preventing building on Linux.
Remove the Microblaze demos that are using obsolete tools.
Update main_blinky for the Windows port demo to include a software timer example.

Microblaze: Add a port optimised task selection implementation to the Microblaze port.
Windows port: Add code to ensure Windows threads are truely suspended before resuming another thread.
Typo correction to the task notification standard demo task.
Correct case of some include file names to fix build issues on Linux.

Kernel changes to improve power saving:
+ The timer task now blocks indefinitely if there are no timers active, allowing eTaskConfirmSleepModeStatus to return eNoTasksWaitingTimeout when configUSE_TIMERS is set to 1.
+ The next unblock time is calculated automatically after a task unblocks when waiting for a notification, allowing deep sleep to be entered earlier.
Change some data types in heap_4.c to allow it to be used on hardware that has 16-bit pointers without generating compiler warnings.
Add a small data model configuration to the MSP43FR5969 IAR demo.
Correct some code comments in the SAMA5D4 demo.
Rename /Demo/MSP430FR5969_LaunchPad to /Demo/MSP430X_MSP430FR5969_LaunchPad for consistency with other MSP430 demo directory names.
Fixed typos in comments repeated in multiple source files.
Update TimerDemo.c to test the new vTimerSetTimerID() function.
Update WinPCap NetworkInterface.c for FreeRTOS+UDP to correctly store a pointer to the network buffer structure at the beginning of the network buffer.
Add the errno definitions used by FreeRTOS+TCP and FreeRTOS+FAT into FreeRTOS's projdefs.h.
Remove redundant global definition vPortInstallFreeRTOSVectorTable from the GCC ARM_CA9 portASM.S file.
Ensure correct sequence of start up sequence when the Windows port is used on multi-core Windows machines by starting one thread in the suspended state.
Move initialisation of xNextTaskUnblockTime to the function that starts the scheduler, rather than from where the variable is declared - this fixes a compiler warning in newer IAR compilers.
Fix "elif (SELECTED_PORT == PORT_MICROCHIP_PIC32MX || PORT_MICROCHIP_PIC32MZ)" in the FreeRTOS+Trace trcHardwarePort.h header file.

Demo changes:
Change the [very basic] FreeRTOS+UDP SAM4E driver to use task notifications rather than a semaphore (execution time now 55% what it was in FreeRTOS V8.1.2!).
Robustness improvements to IntQueue.c standard demo task.h.

+ Cortex-M port now check the active vector bits against 0xff when determining if a function is called from an interrupt - previously only a subset of the bits (0x1f) were checked.

Core kernel files:
+ Change how queues are allocated and deleted so only one pvPortMalloc() or vPortFree() is required in place of the previous 2.
+ Where the TCB is allocated in relation to the stack is now dependent on the stack growth direction. The stack will not grow into the TCB.
+ Introduce the configAPPLICATION_ALLOCATED_HEAP constant to allow the application to provide the array used by heap_4.c as its heap. This allows the application writer to use qualifiers on the array to, for example, force the memory into faster RAM.
Demo application:
+ Add demo for SAMA5D4 using IAR.
Core kernel code:
+ Introduce xSemaphoreGenericGiveFromISR() as an optimisation when giving semaphores and mutexes from an interrupt.

Cortex-A5 IAR port baseline prior to removing all SAMA5 specifics to make it generic.:
- Slight improvement to the save context macro.
- Remove some #warning remarks.
- Enable interrupts before calling the ISR handler rather than in the ISR handler.
Continue working on the GIC-less Cortex-A5 port for IAR:
- Add in the assert when a task attempts to exit its implementing function without deleting itself.
- Remove obsolete code from the context switch asm code (obsoleted by the fact that there is no mask register).
- Attempt to make code more generic by using definitions for additional register addresses.
Carry on working on SAMA5D3 demo:
- Add full interrupt nesting tests.
- Add additional critical section/context switching tests.
- Set interrupt priorities so everything can run at once without any software watchdog errors.
- Re-enable interrupts in each IRQ handler.
- Add in run-time stats.
Make the parameters to vPortDefineHeapRegions() const.
Add additional asserts to the Keil CM3 and CM4F ports (other CM3/4 ports already updated).
Add the additional yield necessitated by the mutex held count to the case when configUSE_QUEUE_SETS is 0.
Simply some of the alignment calculations in heap_4.c to match those used in heap_5.c.
