zephyr/machine_uart: Complete UART driver and make it interrupt driven.

Before this commit the UART would only work in very simple use cases.
Receiving large amounts of data would result in lost bytes.  Plus the print
function would crash due to `uart_config_get()` returning incorrect values.
Additionally, receiving data with `timeout==0` would fail even if data was
already available in the internal UART Rx FIFO.

This commit fixes those issues.  The non-implemented functions have also
been made usable.
