check task priority at compile time

before we were checking the priority at runtime. The compile time error message

One more note about priorities: choosing a priority higher than what the device
supports (that is `1 << NVIC_PRIO_BITS`) will result in a compile error. Due to
limitations in the language the error is currently far from helpful: it will say
something along the lines of "evaluation of constant value failed" and the span
of the error will *not* point out to the problematic interrupt value -- we are
sorry about this!
