ARM based common headers

Basic yet useful typedefs/macros/inlines for any ARM CMSIS based project

Library has been updated to become compatible with Arduino & other 8/16bit platforms (not only ARM cores, yet less optimized for 8/16bit cores)

Library handled symbols (to be defined if needed, at project level)

STM_FAMILY: Define with proper family name if your STM32 MCU is not automatically recognized (in case of warning message displayed)
SAM_FAMILY: Define with proper family name if your ATMEL SAM MCU is not automatically recognized (in case of warning message displayed)
SARMFSW_NO_CHIP_HAL: No includes and definitions of HAL chip files (can be useful to use sarmfsw for static libraries code generation)
HALTicks: can be defined with a function name to use ticks getter function already implemented under the form uint32_t func(void)
HAL_MAX_TICKS val: Define with custom max value in project if tick max value is not using 32b variable full scale
HAL_MS_TICKS_FACTOR: Define with custom multiplier in project if tick period is not 1ms
HAL_INC_DISABLE: Define this symbol at project level to disable inclusion of all HAL headers
HAL_XXX_INC_DISABLE: Define this symbol at project level (replacing XXX by peripheral name) to disable inclusion of corresponding HAL header
BIG_ENDIAN: Define this symbol when using big endian target architecture if not automatically recognized (in case of warning message displayed)
LITTLE_ENDIAN: Define this symbol when using little endian target architecture if not automatically recognized (in case of warning message displayed)
REVERSE_BITFIELD: By default bitfields are stored from lsb to msb; if not the case with used compiler, use a pragma or define this symbol
STDBOOL_NDEF: define this symbol in case used compiler doesn't have stdbool.h header
STDINT_NDEF: define this symbol in case used compiler doesn't have stdint.h header
I_FIND_BINARY_HEADER_USEFUL: For Arduino platform, if using defines from binary.h, define this symbol (not recommended, use 0bxxx for binary instead)
SINGLE_SHIFT_ONLY_OPCODE: If used CPU only handles single shifts opcode, define this symbol to optimize use of LSHIFTx & RSHIFTx with constants
NO_STATIC_FUNC or UNITY_TESTING: using __STATIC keyword, functions will always be visible by linker if set (useful for unit testing)

Help would be appreciated:

Cosmic compiler users: attributes aliases implementation (or related documentation)
Texas Instruments chips users: defining families & sub-families for chips in arm_cmsis.h & peripheral includes (if available)
Any ARM chip provider users: defining families & sub-families for chips in arm_cmsis.h & peripheral includes (if available)
Atmel SAM users: defining new families & sub-families for chips & rationalization of peripheral includes (arm_peripherals.h)
Arduino platform users: miscellaneous improvements (not related to <32b optimizations, ARM core being the main focus of sarmfsw library)
No redeeming ARM users: improvements & optimizations, additions and bug fixes are welcome as long as it still remains in the spirit of C header helpers

Notes

Macros/Inlines name standardization (case) not always respected for backward compatibility with older versions:

For new users: sorry for this apparent nonsense (aliases may be implemented sooner, later, bust most likely never)!
For former users: you're welcome (except some special cases, backward compatibility should still be handled)!
