Add a STM32/DMARingBuffer::read_exact helper

This provides a helper function with an async implementation, that
will only return (or error) when it was able to read that many bytes,
sleeping until ready.

Additionally, corrected the documentation for Ringbuffer functions to use
"elements" instead of "bytes" as the types were already generic over the
word/element size.
