595: Update tips_monotonic_impl.md r=AfoHT a=jordens

* There is no RTIC 0.6, only several RCs.
* Timers without interrupts (like the DWT cycle counter alone) will not be useful for `Monotonic` impls.
* Clarified some of the descriptions of the various implementations.

implementing time handling was a common problem.
Moreover, the relation between time and timers used for scheduling was difficult to understand.
For RTIC 0.6 we instead assume the user has a time library, e.g. [`fugit`] or [`embedded_time`],
For RTIC 1.0 we instead assume the user has a time library, e.g. [`fugit`] or [`embedded_time`],
as the basis for all time-based operations when implementing `Monotonic`.
This makes it almost trivial to implement the `Monotonic` trait allowing the use of any timer in
the system for scheduling.
This makes it much easier to correctly implement the `Monotonic` trait allowing the use of
