The standard Zephyr console implementation doesn't make use of
`tty_set_rx_timeout()` and therefore all the functions to receive
characters block indefinitely until data is received (including
`console_read()`).
This commit also releases the GIL where it applies, e.g. the REPL and the
time sleep functions.
