simple handler for system_os_task/system_os_post

we wrap both functions in much easier ones (register_usr_task, post_usr_task).
register_usr_task requires an os_task_t parameter (the task itself) and returns a
task number (0...MAXUSRTASKS) which is later on used by "post_usr_task".
register_usr_task is self-initializing. no static arrays - malloc only...
