Set OC0 on compare match when up-counting. Clear OC0 on compare
match when downcounting.
Note:
1. A special case occurs when OCR0 equals TOP and COM01 is set. In this case, the
compare match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Phase Correct
PWM Mode” on page 100 for more details.

The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to
the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes)
the compare match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while
the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT0
and the OCR0 Register.

The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared
with the counter value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an output compare
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC0 pin.
