Having a micropython.const identity function, and writing "from micropython
import const" at the start of scripts that use the const feature, allows to
write scripts which are compatible with CPython, and with uPy builds that
don't include const optimisation.
This patch adds such a function and updates the tests to do the import.
micropython.stack_use() returns an integer being the number of bytes used
on the stack.
micropython.heap_lock() and heap_unlock() can be used to prevent the
memory manager from allocating anything on the heap. Calls to these are
allowed to be nested.
This allows to enable mem-info functions in micropython module, even if
MICROPY_MEM_STATS is not enabled. In this case, you get mem_info and
qstr_info but not mem_{total,current,peak}.
The user code should call micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf(size)
where size is the size of the buffer used to print the argument
passed to the exception.
With the test code from #732, and a call to
micropython.alloc_emergenncy_exception_buf(100) the following error is
now printed:
```python
>>> import heartbeat_irq
Uncaught exception in Timer(4) interrupt handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "0://heartbeat_irq.py", line 14, in heartbeat_cb
NameError: name 'led' is not defined
```
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation. Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead. map.h is removed.
