udelay.c: Enable providing delay calibration value through CLI

This commit implements --delay option to retrieve and provide the calibration
loop delay through the command line. The delay calibration procedure can take
up to few seconds, which adds up when executed a number of times consecutively.
Therefore, this provides a means to execute it only once, and then re-use the
calibrated value on subsequent runs. Also, it implements a sanity check,
expecting the value to land within 10% of the theoretical delay expectance,
otherwise it ignores the provided value and runs the calibration procedure
instead.
