Use DMA for UART RX instead of interrupts.
DMA is more efficient and less prone to miss characters than interrupts. An open question is if circular mode is really the best. If someone copy-pastes more than the RX buffer size of configuration into the CLI, we risk the DMA controller catching up with the reader and overwriting data not yet read. Since we don't have flow control back to the users terminal, we will always fail if too much data is entered before we can process it. The question is if failing to stuff new data at the end of a buffer might be better than data being overwritten - thus messing up the commands in unpredictable ways.
