nor/kinetis: add keep-alive during flash write

Flashing Kinetis MCU MK22FX512VLH12 takes longer than one second,
thus gdb connection can timeout. Before commit 7f260f5009a7
("helper/command: Handle Tcl return values consistently") the
openocd timeout warning was masked by a bug in gdb_put_packet()
that resets the timeout counter if any message is logged out.
The commit above removes one log message and the timeout warning
is now triggered.

While the bug in gdb_put_packet() is still to be fixed, the reason
of the timeout is the lack of keep_alive() calls in kinetis flash
driver.

Add keep_alive() call at every iteration in function
kinetis_write_sections(), that is reported as core write function
in chunks of 1024 bytes in the log from the reporter.
Add also a keep_alive() call at every iteration in function
kinetis_write_inner(). This part is not present in the log but, by
code analysis, it represents another critical loop.
