Plug Thread.Sleep()

[fanoI]

To plug Thread.Sleep() is needed to program the PIT to trigger an event (an interrupt) to OS when the specified time is elapsed.

See here for more information:

You can use this:
var left = "12:30:30";
while (Time.Now.ToString() != left)
{
Sys.Halt();
}

You can calculate left time by adding seconds or minutes to Time.Now.

Yes but we want the true implementation and correct way is to use PIT.

There's a PIT implementation in HAL, but I don't know if it works: https://github.com/CosmosOS/Cosmos/blob/master/source/Cosmos.HAL/PIT.cs

I am willing to take this challenge.

Thread.Sleep() seems to be done differently in Net Core so could be needed to be done differently when we merge Net Core... working on this now maybe is a not wanted sovrapposition

This will help for now, it works even for milliseconds

#863 Fixes this but right now it is going to fast and only works when debugging is disabled
