rp2/modrp2: Disable other core, shorten delay to 8us in bootsel_button.

This function seems to work fine in multi-core applications now.

The delay is now in units of microseconds instead of depending on the clock
speed, and is adjustable by board configuration headers.

Also added documentation.

+    Temporarily turns the QSPI_SS pin into an input and reads its value,
+    returning 1 for low and 0 for high.
