Add fast NCO sweep schedules using SetClockFrequency (QAE-722)

Edgar Reehuis requested to merge nco-heterodyne-sched into main

Explanation of changes

Adding heterodyne_spec_sched_nco and two_tone_spec_sched_nco that use SetClockFrequency operation to sweep the NCO.

Motivation of changes

Internal looping of schedule (looping of subschedule) on hardware is not yet possible, we've therefore implemented initial versions of the schedules that do a single measure per frequency in the sweep, as we would quickly run into instruction limits with repeated measures per frequency.
