Mboot builds do not use the external SPI flash in caching mode, and
explicitly disabling it saves RAM and a small bit of flash.

This only needs to be enabled if a board uses FAT FS on external SPI flash.
When disabled (and using external SPI flash) 4k of RAM can be saved.

Mboot now supports FAT, LFS1 and LFS2 filesystems, to load firmware from.
The filesystem needed by the board must be explicitly enabled by the
configuration variables MBOOT_VFS_FAT, MBOOT_VFS_LFS1 and MBOOT_VFS_LFS2.
Boards that previously used FAT implicitly (with MBOOT_FSLOAD enabled) must
now add the following config to mpconfigboard.h:
#define MBOOT_VFS_FAT (1)

This change has the following effects:
- Reduces the resolution of the RTC sub-second counter from 30.52us to
122.07us.
- Allows RTC.calibration() to now support positive values (as well as
negative values).
- Reduces VBAT current consumption in standby mode by a small amount.
For general purpose use 122us resolution of the sub-second counter is
good enough, and the benefits of full range calibration and minor reduction
in VBAT consumption are worth the change.
