CheriBSD, which attempt to work around an inherent race in the UART's
control-register design in detecting whether JTAG is currently,
present, which will otherwise lead to moderately frequent output
drops when running in polled rather than interrupt-driven operation.
Now, these drops are quite infrequent.

Add a new sysctl, hw.altera_jtag_uart.ac_poll_delay, which allows the
(default 10ms) delay associated with a full JTAG UART buffer combined
with a lack of a JTAG-present flag to be tuned. Setting this higher
may cause some JTAG configurations to be more reliable when printing
out low-level console output at a speed greater than the JTAG UART is
willing to carry data. Or it may not.

Minor improvements to the Altera JTAG UART device driver:
- Minor rework to the logic to detect JTAG presence in order to be a bit
more resilient to inevitable races: increase the retry period from two
seconds to four seconds for trying to find JTAG, and more agressively
clear the miss counter if JTAG has been reconnected. Once JTAG has
vanished, stop prodding the miss counter.
- Do a bit of reworking of the output code to frob the control register
less by checking whether write interrupts are enabled/disabled before
changing their state. This should reduce the opportunity for races
with JTAG discovery (which are inherent to the Altera
hardware-software interface, but can at least be minimised).
- Add statistics relating to interrupt enable/disable/JTAG
discovery/etc.
With these changes, polled-mode JTAG UART ttys appear substantially
more robust.
