Martin Stein b6efa7f6f9 timer connection: fast initial calibration
The calibration of the interpolation parameters was previously only done
periodically every 500 ms. Together with the fact that the parameters
had to be stable for at least 3 calibration steps to enable
interpolation, it took at least 1.5 seconds after establishing a
connection to get microseconds-precise time values.

This is a problem for some drivers that directly start to poll time.
Thus, the timer connection now does a calibration burst as soon as it
switches to the modern mode (the mode with microseconds precision).
During this phase it does several (currently 9) calibration steps
without a delay inbetween. It is assumed that this is fast enough to not
get interrupted by scheduling. Thus, despite being small, the measured
values should be very stable which is why the burst should in most cases
be sufficient to get the interpolation initialized.
