Linux runtime: overrun detection for real-time timers and for plc execution.

If real-time timer wakes-up PLC thread too late (10% over period), then
warning is logged.

If PLC code (IO retreive, execution, IO publish) takes longer than requested
PLC execution cycle, then warning is logged, and CPU hoogging is mitigated
by delaying next PLC execution a few cylces more until having at least
1ms minimal idle time.
Project overview
================

In order to target the widest possible range of programmable devices and keep efficient, Beremiz use C code as an intermediate language. 

To be executed, C needs to be compiled. `GCC <http://gcc.gnu.org>`_ serve that purpose perfectly.

PLC program is expressed in languages defined in IEC-61131, including graphical languages. Thanks to PLCopen TC2, those graphical languages have a standardised representation, in XML.

To be continued.
