+- Modified the initialization code in order to have a dedicated idle thread in
+ the system, now the main() function behaves like a normal thread after
+ executing chSysInit() and can use all the ChibiOS/RT APIs (it was required
+ to run the idle loop in previous versions).
+ Now it is also possible to use ChibiOS/RT with a single main() thread and
+ just use it for the I/O capabilities, Virtual Timers and events. You don't
+ have to use multiple threads if you don't really need to.
- Cleaned up the LPC2148 demo in main.c, it is now well documented and
explains everything, I assumed too much stuff to be "obvious".
- Added a spreadsheet in the documentation that describes the advantages

+ inlining and small changes, about 5% better scheduler performance.
- Increased the default system-mode stack size from 128 to 256 bytes because
some optimizations and the THUMB mode seem to use more stack space.
- Included a Makefile in the LPC2148 demo that builds in THUMB mode.
