Fix two bugs that can cause deadlock conditions when i2c bus errors occur.
The first occurs when starting a read transaction from a slave that doesn't respond. The code would wait until the SB (slave on bus) bit is set in the INTFLAGS register, but when a nack occurs that never happens so we're stuck in an infinite loop. The fix is to also look for the MB flag to be set. If it is, issue a stop condition and return. The second happens when a bus error (ie, an illegal stop condition) occurs while sending data as a master. In that case we are waiting for the MB (master on bus) flag to be set. When a bus error occurs that never happens, so again we end up in an infinite loop. The fix here is to also look for the BUSERR flag to be set. If it is, return an error condition.
