pulses_get() gets into a kind of lock state, if pulses with a duration of > 20000µs are applied and the time out was set to an appropriate large value, like 30000. It does not simply return wrong values, but from one "overflow" event on it returns the value pair 19879, 0 irrespective of the signal applied to the input. Only hard reset fixes that.
This PR results in a more robust behavior. For pulses of > 32768µs a wrong value will be reported, but after returning to shorter pulses, these will be reported correctly.

The longest pulse with was set to 20ms. The were some observations that pulses_get() kind of locked up at longer pulses. Setting the maximal pulse width to 0xffff avoids this situation. Even it the pulse width is longer than 65ms, the device recovers at shorter pulses. This value is also used by espressif's examples.
