rtos: add instructions and helper code to make FreeRTOS work again

Run-time tested with FreeRTOS V8.1.2 (current version).

For the time being I propose this way of dealing with RTOSes that do
not export necessary information on their own.

I also suggest implementing a similar scheme for ChibiOS, exporting
the necessary struct fields' offsets via an OpenOCD-specific helper.

For most RTOS supported the above symbols will be exported by default. However for
some, eg. FreeRTOS @option{xTasksWaitingTermination} is only exported
if @option{INCLUDE_vTaskDelete} is defined during the build.
some, eg. FreeRTOS, extra steps must be taken.
These RTOSes may require additional OpenOCD-specific file to be linked
along with the project:
