For ports with MICROPY_VFS and MICROPY_PY_IO enabled their configuration
can now be simplified to use the defaults for mp_import_stat and
mp_builtin_open.
This commit makes no functional change, except for the following minor
points:
- the built-in "open" is removed from the minimal port (it previously did
nothing)
- the duplicate built-in "input" is removed from the esp32 port
- qemu-arm now delegates to VFS import/open

If MicroPython threads are enabled, loops waiting for an incoming event
should release the GIL and suspend, allowing other tasks to run while they
wait.
Prior to this commit, the problem can easily be observed by running a
thread that is both busy and regularly releases the GIL (for example a loop
doing something then sleeping a few ms after each iteration). When the
main task is at the REPL, the thread is significantly stalled. If the main
task is manually made to release the GIL (for example, by calling
utime.sleep_ms(500)) the other thread can be seen immediately working at
the expected speed again.
Additionally, there are various instances in where blocking functions run
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK in a loop while they wait for a certain event/
condition. For example the uselect methods poll objects to determine
whether data is available, but uses 100% of CPU while it does, constantly
calling MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK in the process.
The MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK macro is only ever used in waiting loops, where
(if threads are enabled) it makes sense to yield for a single tick so that
these loops do not consume all CPU cycles but instead other threads may
execute. (In fact, the thing these loops wait for may even indirectly or
directly depend on another task being able to run.)
This change moves the sleep that was inside the REPL input function to
inside the MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK macro, where the GIL is already being
released, solving both the blocking REPL issue and the 100% CPU use issue
at the same time.

The inclusion of `umachine` in the list of built-in modules is now done
centrally in py/objmodule.c. Enabling MICROPY_PY_MACHINE will include this
module.
As part of this, all ports now have `umachine` as the core module name
(previously some had only `machine` as the name).

The methods duty_u16() and duty_ns() are implemented to match the existing
docs. The duty will remain the same when the frequency is changed.
Standard ESP32 as well as S2, S3 and C3 are supported.
Thanks to @kdschlosser for the fix for rounding in resolution calculation.
Documentation is updated and examples expanded for esp32, including the
quickref and tutorial. Additional notes are added to the machine.PWM docs
regarding limitations of hardware PWM.
This commit enables some significant optimisations for esp32:
- move the VM to iRAM
- move hot parts of the runtime to iRAM (map lookup, load global/name,
mp_obj_get_type)
- enable MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH
- enable MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE
- disable assertions
- change from -Os to -O2 for compilation
It's hard to measure performance on esp32 due to external flash and
hardware caching. But this set of changes improves performance compared to
master by (on a TinyPICO with the GENERIC build, using IDF 4.2.2, running
at 160MHz):

Five tests have more than 3x speed up (200%+).
The performance of the tests bm_fft, bm_pidigits and misc_aes now scale
with CPU frequency (eg changing frequency to 240MHz boosts the performance
of these by 50%), which means they are no longer influenced by timing of
external flash access. (The viper_call* tests did previously scale with
CPU frequency, and they still do.)
Turning off assertions reduces code size by about 80k, and going from -Os
to -O2 costs about 100k, so the net change in code size (for the GENERIC
board) is about +20k.
If a board wants to enable assertions, or use -Os instead of -O2, that's
still possible by overriding the sdkconfig parameters.

To do this the board must define MICROPY_BOARD_STARTUP, set
MICROPY_SOURCE_BOARD then define the new start-up code.
For example, in mpconfigboard.h:
#define MICROPY_BOARD_STARTUP board_startup
void board_startup(void);
in mpconfigboard.cmake:
set(MICROPY_SOURCE_BOARD
${MICROPY_BOARD_DIR}/board.c
)
and in a new board.c file in the board directory:
#include "py/mpconfig.h"
void board_startup(void) {
boardctrl_startup();
// extra custom startup
}
This follows stm32's boardctrl facilities.

This commit refactors machine.PWM and creates extmod/machine_pwm.c. The
esp8266, esp32 and rp2 ports all use this and provide implementations of
the required PWM functionality. This helps to reduce code duplication and
keep the same Python API across ports.
This commit does not make any functional changes.

The underlying OS (the ESP-IDF) uses it's own internal errno codes and so
it's simpler and cleaner to use those rather than trying to convert
everything to the values defined in py/mperrno.h.
The "word" referred to by BYTES_PER_WORD is actually the size of mp_obj_t
which is not always the same as the size of a pointer on the target
architecture. So rename this config value to better reflect what it
measures, and also prefix it with MP_.
For uses of BYTES_PER_WORD in setting the stack limit this has been
changed to sizeof(void *), because the stack usually grows with
machine-word sized values (eg an nlr_buf_t has many machine words in it).

For seeding, the RNG function of the ESP-IDF is used, which is told to be a
true RNG, at least when WiFi or Bluetooth is enabled. Seeding on import is
as per CPython. To obtain a reproducible sequence of pseudo-random numbers
one must explicitly seed with a known value.

This commit allows the user to set/get the GAP device name used by service
0x1800, characteristic 0x2a00. The usage is:
BLE.config(gap_name="myname")
print(BLE.config("gap_name"))
As part of this change the compile-time setting
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_NAME is renamed to
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_GAP_NAME to emphasise its link to GAP and this
new "gap_name" config value. And the default value of this for the NimBLE
bindings is changed from "PYBD" to "MPY NIMBLE" to be more generic.
TimeoutError was added back in 077812b2ab for
the cc3200 port. In f522849a4d the cc3200
port enabled use of it in the socket module aliased to socket.timeout. So
it was never added to the builtins. Then it was replaced by
OSError(ETIMEDOUT) in 047af9b10b.
The esp32 port enables this exception, since the very beginning of that
port, but it could never be accessed because it's not in builtins.
It's being removed: 1) to not encourage its use; 2) because there are a lot
of other OSError subclasses which are not defined at all, and having
TimeoutError is a bit inconsistent.
Note that ports can add anything to the builtins via MICROPY_PORT_BUILTINS.
And they can also define their own exceptions using the
MP_DEFINE_EXCEPTION() macro.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
Implements text, rodata and bss generalised relocations, as well as generic
qstr-object linking. This allows importing dynamic native modules on all
supported architectures in a unified way.
