Merge #741
741: Docs 2 r=korken89 a=datdenkikniet Working on the migration guide and other docs TODO: - [x] Migration guide - [x] Hardcoded examples should link to example code that is tested (this was already done, AFAICT) - [x] Address #699 - [x] Discuss: should we remove references to non-v2, apart from the migration guide and link to the book for v1? (Off-github conclusion: yes) - [x] RTIC {vs,and} Embassy (important: distinction between embassy runtime & HALs) - [x] More descriptive docs on how to implement & PR implementations of `Monotonic` to `rtic-monotonics` Co-authored-by: datdenkikniet <jcdra1@gmail.com>

-# Defining tasks with `#[task]`
-
-Tasks, defined with `#[task]`, are the main mechanism of getting work done in RTIC.
-
-Tasks can
-
-* Be spawned (now or in the future, also by themselves)
-* Receive messages (passing messages between tasks)
-* Be prioritized, allowing preemptive multitasking
-* Optionally bind to a hardware interrupt
-
-RTIC makes a distinction between “software tasks” and “hardware tasks”.
-
-*Hardware tasks* are tasks that are bound to a specific interrupt vector in the MCU while software tasks are not.
-
-This means that if a hardware task is bound to, lets say, a UART RX interrupt, the task will be run every
-time that interrupt triggers, usually when a character is received.
-
-*Software tasks* are explicitly spawned in a task, either immediately or using the Monotonic timer mechanism.
-
-In the coming pages we will explore both tasks and the different options available.
