Debug fns

This is actually really easy, see this

To make this even better we should add conditional compilation.

RobotC can compile for debug or release. We can check for _DEBUG in our debug fns, and only compile if it's on.

We can also add runtime measurement functions by running a timer

Ok turns out this is completely unnecessary - RobotC provides all you need to debug. I'm going to write up an issue on creating a debug standard, but for now this is what is necessary:

• To open joystick while debugging, go to Robot -> Debugger Windows -> Joystick Control
• To open debug stream while debugging, go to Robot -> Debugger Windows - > Debug stream
• To monitor variables, go to Robot -> Debugger Windows -> Global Variables/Local Variables. Use Step Into, Over, and Out (for explanation of what those do, go here) to monitor them. This is limited to the main() function variables only. If you absolutely need other variables, set them all to Global Variables: View -> Preferences -> Global/Local vars. REMEMBER TO CHANGE IT BACK!
• Also note the compilation for debug or release (as linked previously)

Runtime measurement is most likely useless because RobotC is so fast already. If we really need to improve performance, a few timers would be very easy to implement (we don't need a whole library for this)
