This is necessary to avoid watchdog timeout in long i2c.scan(), as
previously machine_i2c.c would call MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK if
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK_FAST was not available.
Compared to previous implementation, this implementation removes the
ets_event_poll() function and calls the SDK function ets_loop_iter() from
MICROPY_INTERNAL_EVENT_HOOK instead. This allows using the port-agnostic
functions in more places.
There is a small behaviour change, which is that the event loop gets
iterated in a few more places (i.e. anywhere that mp_event_handle_nowait()
is called). However, this looks like maybe only modselect.c - and is
probably good to process Wi-Fi events in that polling loop.

For consistency with other Python-level modules.
Also add the corresponding missing preprocessor guard to esp32/modespnow.c,
so that this port compiles if MICROPY_PY_ESPNOW and MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_WLAN
are set to 0.
Fixes#12622.

ESP-NOW is a proprietary wireless communication protocol which supports
connectionless communication between ESP32 and ESP8266 devices, using
vendor specific WiFi frames. This commit adds support for this protocol
through a new `espnow` module.
This commit builds on original work done by @nickzoic, @shawwwn and with
contributions from @zoland. Features include:
- Use of (extended) ring buffers in py/ringbuf.[ch] for robust IO.
- Signal strength (RSSI) monitoring.
- Core support in `_espnow` C module, extended by `espnow.py` module.
- Asyncio support via `aioespnow.py` module (separate to this commit).
- Docs provided at `docs/library/espnow.rst`.
Methods available in espnow.ESPNow class are:
- active(True/False)
- config(): set rx buffer size, read timeout and tx rate
- recv()/irecv()/recvinto() to read incoming messages from peers
- send() to send messages to peer devices
- any() to test if a message is ready to read
- irq() to set callback for received messages
- stats() returns transfer stats:
(tx_pkts, tx_pkt_responses, tx_failures, rx_pkts, lost_rx_pkts)
- add_peer(mac, ...) registers a peer before sending messages
- get_peer(mac) returns peer info: (mac, lmk, channel, ifidx, encrypt)
- mod_peer(mac, ...) changes peer info parameters
- get_peers() returns all peer info tuples
- peers_table supports RSSI signal monitoring for received messages:
{peer1: [rssi, time_ms], peer2: [rssi, time_ms], ...}
ESP8266 is a pared down version of the ESP32 ESPNow support due to code
size restrictions and differences in the low-level API. See docs for
details.
Also included is a test suite in tests/multi_espnow. This tests basic
espnow data transfer, multiple transfers, various message sizes, encrypted
messages (pmk and lmk), and asyncio support.
