It's a citizen cm519, specified at 12.5pF. I'm not concerned with a
high precision clock, but it seems to be running fast by a factor of 6.
I can't think of a way to misconfigure timer2 and be off by this amount.
I'll add pads for the capacitors on the next board iteration for testing.
The newer avrs seem to require them regardless of crystal type.
