Make the timing more predictable

This implements multiple measures for a more consistent control loop:

- Use Alarm0 to generate a trigger signal every millisecond. This
  ensures that the loop’s update rate is constant.
- Introduces the Logger module to handle UART communication in a
  non-blocking way (no interrupts, though). The Logger module has a
  internal, statically allocated queue to accomplish this.
