py/gc: Implement GC running by allocation threshold. Currently, MicroPython runs GC when it could not allocate a block of memory, which happens when heap is exhausted. However, that policy can't work well with "inifinity" heaps, e.g. backed by a virtual memory - there will be a lot of swap thrashing long before VM will be exhausted. Instead, in such cases "allocation threshold" policy is used: a GC is run after some number of allocations have been made. Details vary, for example, number or total amount of allocations can be used, threshold may be self-adjusting based on GC outcome, etc. This change implements a simple variant of such policy for MicroPython. Amount of allocated memory so far is used for threshold, to make it useful to typical finite-size, and small, heaps as used with MicroPython ports. And such GC policy is indeed useful for such types of heaps too, as it allows to better control fragmentation. For example, if a threshold is set to half size of heap, then for an application which usually makes big number of small allocations, that will (try to) keep half of heap memory in a nice defragmented state for an occasional large allocation. For an application which doesn't exhibit such behavior, there won't be any visible effects, except for GC running more frequently, which however may affect performance. To address this, the GC threshold is configurable, and by default is off so far. It's configured with gc.threshold(amount_in_bytes) call (can be queries without an argument).
