Please review my code and consider this PR.

I've implemented functionality to control the timer and timer interrupt facilities of PCF8563. For this I added the following functions to class RTC_PCF8563:

void enableCountdownTimer(PCF8563TimerClockFreq clkFreq, uint8_t numPeriods);
void disableCountdownTimer(void);
void enableCountdownTimerInt(bool pulse);
void disableCountdownTimerInt(void);
uint8_t getAndClearIntFlags(void);

Also added required definitions in RTClib.h.

This does not cover functionality of alarms and alarm interrupt. Adafruit's own PCF8563 breakout doesn't expose the INT pin, but this might be useful for other boards that ise the functionality or in the future if Adafruit produces a breakout board that exposes the INT pin.

I've successfully tested all the added functionality on a PCF8563 breakout from ANGEEK connected to an arduino UNO. Examples are not included. I'm happy to add any if required.

It's not 4096 kilohertz, but 4096 Hz (or, as the datasheet puts it, “4.096 kHz”.

It would be nice if each method had a non-empty @details documentation. And also to have the parameters documented.

Please, no not commit commented-out code.

The intent should be clearer like this:

Suggested change
write_i2c_register(PCF8563_ADDRESS, PCF8563_CONTROL_2, ctlreg & ~1);
write_i2c_register(PCF8563_ADDRESS, PCF8563_CONTROL_2, ctlreg & ~PCF8563_CONTROL2_TIE);

write_i2c_register(PCF8563_ADDRESS, PCF8563_CONTROL_2, ctlreg & ~1);
}

This method also should be documented.
