New style main procedure which creates the test's RTEMS initialization task
as an RTEMS task. This avoid problems resulting from differences in the tasking mode/priority of Ada tasks from the typical way an RTEMS initialization task is created.

+This test is broken as it is currently implemented. It is illegal for
+a task to do Ada IO during a extension since the Ada run-time uses
+locks to safeguard data structures. Dispatching is disabled and the
+call to Text_IO in the Switch extension will lock the system up.
+
+The proper solution is to have the Switch extension lock task and
+time when it a switch occurs and have a single task print this
+information as necessary.
