Enable stats reporting with a flag in targets.json

[theotherjimmy]

Description

PR #8607 will cause problems for the NRF52832 and the NRF52840
in the online compiler starting with 5.10.2. This PR prevents this problem
by using a toggle in targets.json to enable these new defines for every
target except for the NRF52832 and NRF52840.

Update: BLE + Softdevice + NRF528XX is currently broken in master, and this will work around it for the time being by not enabling the memory-reporting for the NRF528XX targets.

Looks good!

@ARMmbed/mbed-os-pan you should be aware of this

[donatieng]

Could we get details on build failures - could not reproduce?

[theotherjimmy]

@donatieng No build failures occur.

PR #8607 was part of 5.11.0-rc1, how come it resulted in errors since 5.10.2?

@deepikabhavnani It has not caused problems yet, which is why that sentence is future tense. Also, you're assuming that the online compiler somehow can use the build tools in the same way as Mbed CLI. It does not, and only uses a single copy of the tools that is near latest.

[deepikabhavnani]

Wow, didn't knew that tools are latest some configured version (not necessary latest), irrespective of mbed-os version

So just to make sure I understand, this problem:

• Only occurs when using Soft Devices
• Compiles fine
• But eventually causes runtime failures by attempting to allocate/use memory past the end of what the devices has?

CI started

Nope. At no point does anything overflow RAM or allocate outside of RAM. The problem is that the Softdevice and Application allocate the same RAM when the Softdevice is used.

Thanks for the PR Jimmy. Do you plan to add a bit of documentation about this feature for partners that may encounter the same situation in the future ?

[theotherjimmy]

@pan- That's a good idea. I'll add it to the adding and configuring targets section.
