The att_flags for descriptors does not use the same bitfield as for
characteristics. This was leading to NimBLE descriptors getting the wrong
flags set.

This replaces the previous pending operation queue (that used to also be
shared with pending server notify/indicate ops) with a single pending
operation per connection. This allows the value handle to be correctly
passed to the Python-level events.
Also re-structure GATT client event handling to simplify the packet handler
functions.

Makes gatts_notify and gatts_indicate work in the same way: by default they
send the DB value, but you can manually override the payload.
In other words, makes gatts_indicate work the same as gatts_notify.
Note: This removes support for queuing notifications and indications on
btstack when the ACL buffer is full. This functionality will be
reimplemented in a future commit.

This makes it so that all a port needs to do is set the relevant variables
and "include extmod.mk" and doesn't need to worry about adding anything to
OBJ, CFLAGS, SRC_QSTR, etc.
Make all extmod variables (src, flags, etc) private to extmod.mk.
Also move common/shared, extmod-related fragments (e.g. wiznet, cyw43,
bluetooth) into extmod.mk.
Now that SRC_MOD, CFLAGS_MOD, CXXFLAGS_MOD are unused by both extmod.mk
(and user-C-modules in a previous commit), remove all uses of them from
port makefiles.

This applies to nimble, btstack, axtls, mbedtls, lwip.
Rather than having the ports individually manage GIT_SUBMODULES for these

This is technically a breaking change, but:
a) We need the end handle to do descriptor discovery properly.
b) We have no possible use for the existing definition handle in the
characteristic result IRQ. None of the methods can use it, and therefore
no existing code should be using it in a way that changing it to a
different integer value should break.
Unfortunately NimBLE doesn't make it easy to get the end handle, so also
implement a mechanism to use the following characteristic to calculate
the previous characteristic's end handle.

When l2cap_send detects that the sys mempool is running low (used to store
the outgoing HCI payloads), it will report stalled back to the application,
and then only unstall once these HCI payloads have been sent.
This prevents a situation where a remote receiver with very large MTU can
cause NimBLE to queue up more than MYNEWT_VAL_MSYS_1_BLOCK_COUNT (i.e. 12)
payloads, causing further attempts to send to fail with ENOMEM (even though
the channel is not stalled and we have room in the channel mbufs). The
regular credit/stall flow control is not effective here because the
receiver's MTU is large enough that it will not activate (i.e. there are
lots of credits available).
Thresholds of 1/2 (stall) and 1/4 (unstall) chosen to allow headroom for
other payloads (e.g. notifications) and that when a regular stall occurs it
might keep sending (and creating more payloads) in the background.
A correctly-behaved application shouldn't do this, but in the
case where the channel is stalled, there's still enough room
in the mbuf pool, then we'll fail the send (BLE_HS_EBUSY) so
the mbuf needs to be freed.

The comments in NimBLE for ble_gattc_notify_custom() state that "This
function consumes the supplied mbuf regardless of the outcome.". And
inspection of NimBLE code shows that this is the case. So the comment can
be removed.

Previously, the MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE macro
controlled enabling both the central mode and the GATT client
functionality (because usually the two go together).
This commits adds a new MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_GATT_CLIENT
macro that separately enables the GATT client functionality.
This defaults to MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE.
This also fixes a bug in the NimBLE bindings where a notification
or indication would not be received by a peripheral (acting as client)
as gap_event_cb wasn't handling it. Now both central_gap_event_cb
and peripheral_gap_event_cb share the same common handler for these
events.

Zephyr controllers can be queried for a static address (computed from the
device ID). BlueKitchen already supports this, but make them both use the
same macro to enable the feature.

in attr->handle used in the non-error case.

If the _IRQ_L2CAP_RECV handler does the actual consumption of the incoming
data (i.e. via l2cap_recvinto), rather than setting a flag for
non-scheduler-context to handle it later, then two things can happen:
- It can starve the VM (i.e. the scheduled task never terminates). This is
because calling l2cap_recvinto will empty the rx buffer, which will grant
more credits to the channel (an HCI command), meaning more data can
arrive. This means that the loop in hal_uart.c that keeps reading HCI
data from the uart and executing NimBLE events as they are created will
not terminate, preventing other VM code from running.
- There's no flow control (i.e. data will arrive too quickly). The channel
shouldn't be given credits until after we return from scheduler context.
It's preferable that no work is done in scheduler/IRQ context. But to
prevent this being a problem this commit changes l2cap_recvinto so that if
it is called in IRQ context, and the Python handler empties the rx buffer,
then don't grant credits until the Python handler is complete.

This allows sending arbitrary HCI commands and getting the response. The
return value of the function is the status of the command.
This is intended for debugging and not to be a part of the public API, and
must be enabled via mpconfigboard.h. It's currently only implemented for
NimBLE bindings.

This adds `_IRQ_GET_SECRET` and `_IRQ_SET_SECRET` events to allow the BT
stack to request the Python code retrive/store/delete secret key data. The
actual keys and values are opaque to Python and stack-specific.
Only NimBLE is implemented (pending moving btstack to sync events). The
secret store is designed to be compatible with BlueKitchen's TLV store API.

This changes stm32 from using PENDSV to run NimBLE to use the MicroPython
scheduler instead. This allows Python BLE callbacks to be invoked directly
(and therefore synchronously) rather than via the ringbuffer.
The NimBLE UART HCI and event processing now happens in a scheduled task
every 128ms. When RX IRQ idle events arrive, it will also schedule this
task to improve latency.
There is a similar change for the unix port where the background thread now
queues the scheduled task.

This requires that the event handlers are called from non-interrupt context
(i.e. the MicroPython scheduler).
This will allow the BLE stack (e.g. NimBLE) to run from the scheduler
rather than an IRQ like PENDSV, and therefore be able to invoke Python
callbacks directly/synchronously. This allows writing Python BLE handlers
for events that require immediate response such as _IRQ_READ_REQUEST (which
was previous a hard IRQ) and future events relating to pairing/bonding.

Instead of having the stack indicate a "start", "data"..., "end", pass
through the data in one callback as an array of chunks of data.
This is because the upcoming non-ringbuffer modbluetooth implementation
cannot buffer the data in the ringbuffer and requires instead a single
callback with all the data, to pass to the Python callback.

This allows `ble.active(1)` to fail correctly if the HCI controller is
unavailable.
It also avoids an infine loop in the NimBLE event handler where NimBLE
doesn't correctly detect that the HCI controller is unavailable and keeps
trying to reset.
Furthermore, it fixes an issue where GATT service registrations were left
allocated, which led to a bad realloc if the stack was activated multiple
times.
Generally a controller should either have its own public address hardcoded,
or loaded by the driver (e.g. cywbt43).
However, for a controller that has no public address where you still want a
long-term stable address, this allows you to use a static address generated
by the port. Typically on STM32 this will be an LAA, but a board might
override this.
