Firmware hangup in i2c_stop() and other I2C functions #3

Description

I observed it multiple times in a hardware configuration with a SSD1306 I2C OLED display that reflashing the firmware at specific points would cause the new firmware to hangup in the i2c_stop() function (as I observed in the debugger).

https://github.com/CommunityGD32Cores/GD32Core-New/blob/88d1cd79e196e13deaa67faeb7aea008f10157fd/libraries/Wire/src/utility/twi.c#L144-L155

This code does not have timeouts (as opposed to other I2C functions) and in case the I2C peripherhal wants to assert a STOP condition but the bus just doesn't let it be driven that way (some other device is interfering?) this hangs up forever.

This should be investigated and fixed.
