This commit adds optimised l32i/s32i functions that select the best load/
store encoding based on the size of the offset, and uses the function when
necessary in code generation.
Without this, ASM_LOAD_REG_REG_OFFSET() could overflow the word offset
(using a narrow encoding), for example when loading the prelude from the
constant table when there are many (>16) constants.
Fixes issue #8458.

The sys module should always be available (if it's compiled in), eg to
change sys.path for importing. So provide an explicit alias from "sys" to
"usys" so that "import sys" can always work.

These jumps are always forwards, and it's more efficient in the VM to
decode an unsigned argument. These opcodes are already optimised versions
of the sequence "dup-top pop-jump-if-x pop" so it doesn't hurt generality
to optimise them further.

This commit introduces changes:
- All jump opcodes are changed to have variable length arguments, of either
1 or 2 bytes (previously they were fixed at 2 bytes). In most cases only
1 byte is needed to encode the short jump offset, saving bytecode size.
- The bytecode emitter now selects 1 byte jump arguments when the jump
offset is guaranteed to fit in 1 byte. This is achieved by checking if
the code size changed during the last pass and, if it did (if it shrank),
then requesting that the compiler make another pass to get the correct
offsets of the now-smaller code. This can continue multiple times until
the code stabilises. The code can only ever shrink so this iteration is
guaranteed to complete. In most cases no extra passes are needed, the
original 4 passes are enough to get it right by the 4th pass (because the
2nd pass computes roughly the correct labels and the 3rd pass computes
the correct size for the jump argument).
This change to the jump opcode encoding reduces .mpy files and RAM usage
(when bytecode is in RAM) by about 2% on average.
The performance of the VM is not impacted, at least within measurment of
the performance benchmark suite.
Code size is reduced for builds that include a decent amount of frozen
bytecode. ARM Cortex-M builds without any frozen code increase by about
350 bytes.

This commit adds generic support for mutable module attributes on built in
modules, by adding support for an optional hook function for module
attribute lookup. If a module wants to support additional attribute load/
store/delete (beyond what is in the constant, globals dict) then it should
add at the very end of its globals dict MP_MODULE_ATTR_DELEGATION_ENTRY().
This should point to a custom function which will handle any additional
attributes.
The mp_module_generic_attr() function is provided as a helper function for
additional attributes: it requires an array of qstrs (terminated in
MP_QSTRnull) and a corresponding array of objects (with a 1-1 mapping
between qstrs and objects). If the qstr is found in the array then the
corresponding object is loaded/stored/deleted.

Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing. They are also
smaller on disk.
But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware. This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device. These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM. This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).
The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware. This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).
This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware. The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place. If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.
With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).
The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded. Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time. This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory. Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).
In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):
qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;
is now (schematically):
idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
qst = qstr_table[idx];
That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values. Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.
Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.
The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before
The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance. For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit
is:

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.
In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place. Performance is not impacted too much. Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM. This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

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).

This commit makes sure that the value zero is always encoded in an mpz_t as
neg=0 and len=0 (previously it was just len=0).
This invariant is needed for some of the bitwise operations that operate on
negative numbers, because they cannot handle -0. For example
(-((1<<100)-(1<<100)))|1 was being computed as -65535, instead of 1.

This feature is not enabled on any port, it's not in CPython's io module,
and functionality is better suited to the micropython-lib implementation of
pkg_resources.
Make it possible to proceed to a regular lookup in locals_dict if the
custom type->attr fails. This allows type->attr to extend rather than
completely replace the lookup in locals_dict.
This is useful for custom builtin classes that have mostly regular methods
but just a few special attributes/properties. This way, type->attr needs
to deal with the special cases only and the default lookup will be used for
generic methods.
