freertos: ensure interrupts are disabled before enabling tick timer
xPortStartScheduler calls vPortSetupTimer -> _frxt_tick_timer_init, which enables tick timer interrupt and sets up the first timeout. From that point on, the interrupt can fire. If the interrupt happens while _frxt_dispatch is running, the scheduler will enter an infinite loop. This is because _frxt_dispatch isn't supposed to be preemptable, and the tick interrupt will overwrite some of the registers used by _frxt_dispatch. Note that this situation doesn't practically occur on the real hardware, where the execution of vPortSetupTimer and _frxt_dispatch happens quickly enough. However it can be reproduced on an emulator if the tick period is set to 1ms. Add an explicit call to portDISABLE_INTERRUPTS in xPortStartScheduler to guarantee that _frxt_dispatch doesn't run with interrupts enabled. This is similar to the esprv_intc_int_set_threshold(1); call in RISC-V version of port.c.
