Summary
Add a mechanism to set timer interrupt priority for the timer used By SoftwareSerial.
This PR fixes/implements the following bugs/features
Validation
I have reworked an in-development version of Marlin to use this to configure the SoftwareSerial interrupt priority during HAL initialization. Using digital outputs added to the interrupt handlers, I was able to confirm the nesting of multiple preempted timer interrupts, as desired.
In the image below it can be seen that the serial interrupt is the highest of the three priorities, allowing it to preempt both of the other timer interrupts.
Fixes #751
