drivers: systick: Fix Cortex-M systick jumping forward and back again
The existing implementation did not properly
handle when `SysTick->VAL` is zero.
This caused three subtle edge cases:
* val1=0,COUNTFLAG=0,val2=0
This should result in no cycles elapsed,
however `(last_load - val2) = last_load`.
So an extra `last_load` cycles was returned.
* val1=0,COUNTFLAG=0,val2=(last_load-1)
This should result in 1 cycle elapsed,
however `val1 < val2` so an extra `last_load`
cycles was returned.
* val1=[2,1,0],COUNTFLAG=1,val2=0
This should result in `last_load` cycles elapsed.
However, `last_load * 2` cycles was returned.
To fix the calculation, val1 and val2 are first
wrapped/realigned from [0:last_load-1] to [1:last_load].
Tidy comments to better reflect the SysTick
behaviour and link reference manuals.
