Jim Mussared 5e50975a6d py/modsys: Allow sys.path to be assigned to.
Previously sys.path could be modified by append/pop or slice assignment.

This allows `sys.path = [...]`, which can be simpler in many cases, but
also improves CPython compatibility.

It also allows sys.path to be set to a tuple which means that you can
clear sys.path (e.g. temporarily) with no allocations.

This also makes sys.path (and sys.argv for consistency) able to be disabled
via mpconfig. The unix port (and upytesthelper) require them, so they
explicitly verify that they're enabled.

Jim Mussared 256f47e2f8 extmod/btstack: Fix indicate/notify queuing.
This adds a mechanism to track a pending notify/indicate operation that
is deferred due to the send buffer being full. This uses a tracked alloc
that is passed as the content arg to the callback.

This replaces the previous mechanism that did this via the global pending
op queue, shared with client read/write ops.

Jim Mussared d6d8722558 extmod: Make extmod.mk self-contained.
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.

Damien George 8f4c108025 all: Remove MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO config option.
Since commit e65d1e69e8 there is no longer an
io.FileIO class, so this option is no longer needed.

This option also controlled whether or not files supported being opened in
binary mode (eg 'rb'), and could, if disabled, lead to confusion as to why
opening a file in binary mode silently did the wrong thing (it would just
open in text mode if MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was disabled).

The various VFS implementations (POSIX, FAT, LFS) were the only places
where enabling this option made a difference, and in almost all cases where
one of these filesystems were enabled, MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was also
enabled.  So it makes sense to just unconditionally enable this feature
(ability to open a file in binary mode) in all cases, and so just remove
this config option altogether.  That makes configuration simpler and means
binary file support always exists (and opening a file in binary mode is
arguably more fundamental than opening in text mode, so if anything should
be configurable then it should be the ability to open in text mode).

Damien George aac5a97d08 ports: Move '.frozen' to second entry in sys.path.
In commit 86ce442607 the '.frozen' entry was
added at the start of sys.path, to allow control over when frozen modules
are searched during import, and retain existing behaviour whereby frozen
was searched before the filesystem.

But Python semantics of sys.path require sys.path[0] to be the directory of
the currently executing script, or ''.

This commit moves the '.frozen' entry to second place in sys.path, so
sys.path[0] retains its correct value (described above).

Jim Mussared b326edf68c all: Remove MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE.
This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.

This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.

The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).

It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.

For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:

diff of scores (higher is better)
N=2000 M=2000       bccache -> attrmapcache      diff      diff% (error%)

misc_raytrace.py   21490.40 ->   22227.23 :   +736.83 =  +3.429% (+/-1.88%)

This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).

The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):

misc_raytrace.py   19800.01 ->   23350.73 :  +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%)

In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.

See #7680 for further discussion.  And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

Jim Mussared 692d36d779 py: Implement partial PEP-498 (f-string) support.
This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.

It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
  f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)

It also supports:
  f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)

This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.

There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
  `SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.

- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
    "{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a)    (str.format will incorrectly use
                                         the braces from the non-f-string)
    f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)

- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
  argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
  resolve nested braces in expressions like
    f"{'}'}"

- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.

Includes tests and cpydiffs.

libusb was not detected.  But now that bluetooth works in H4 mode it will

Jim Mussared 710426024a all: Factor gchelper code to one place and use it for unix & ARM ports.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port.  This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.

Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.

The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed

Jim Mussared 7563d58210 unix: Add support for modbluetooth and BLE using btstack.
This commit adds full support to the unix port for Bluetooth using the
common extmod/modbluetooth Python bindings.  This uses the libusb HCI
transport, which supports many common USB BT adaptors.

Jim Mussared cb5994d96e unix/modmachine: Add machine.idle(), implemented using sched_yield.
Also add a definition of MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK so the unix port can build
against modules that require this.

stijn 30840ebc99 all: Enable extra conversion warnings where applicable.
Add -Wdouble-promotion and -Wfloat-conversion for most ports to ban out
implicit floating point conversions, and add extra Travis builds using
MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to uncover warnings which weren't found
previously.  For the unix port -Wsign-comparison is added as well but only
there since only clang supports this but gcc doesn't.

Jim Mussared c2cfbcc8d4 unix: Implement MICROPY_BEGIN/END_ATOMIC_SECTION protection macros.
This macro is used to implement global serialisation, typically by
disabling IRQs.  On the unix port, if threading is enabled, use the
existing thread mutex (that protects the thread list structure) for this
purpose.  Other places in the code (eg the scheduler) assume this macro
will provide serialisation.

David Lechner b1066a9f96 unix: Remove custom definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN.
This removes the port-specific definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN on the unix
port.  Since fee7e5617f this is no longer a
single function call so we are not really optimising anything over using
the default definition of MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN which calls
mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn_cooked().

Damien George 2cdf1d25f5 unix: Remove custom file implementation to use extmod's VFS POSIX one.
The implementation in extmod/vfs_posix_file.c is now equivalent to that in
ports/unix/file.c, so remove the latter and use the former instead.

Damien George 69661f3343 all: Reformat C and Python source code with tools/codeformat.py.
This is run with uncrustify 0.70.1, and black 19.10b0.

David Lechner fee7e5617f unix: Release GIL during all system calls.
Addition of GIL EXIT/ENTER pairs are:

- modos: release the GIL during system calls.  CPython does this as well.

- moduselect: release the GIL during the poll() syscall.  This call can be
  blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run at this time.

- modusocket: release the GIL during system calls.  Many of these calls can
  be blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run.

- unix_mphal: release the GIL during the read and write syscalls in
  mp_hal_stdin_rx_chr and mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn.  If we don't do this
  threads are blocked when the REPL or the builtin input function are used.

- file, main, mpconfigport.h: release GIL during syscalls in built-in
  functions that could block.

Jim Mussared bd2fff6687 unix: Add build variants, analogous to boards on bare-metal.
Invoking "make" will still build the standard "micropython" executable, but
other variants are now build using, eg, "make VARIANT=minimal".  This
follows how bare-metal ports specify a particular board, and allows running
any make target (eg clean, test) with any variant.

Convenience targets (eg "make coverage") are provided to retain the old
behaviour, at least for now.

See issue #3043.
