This commit makes gc_lock_depth have one counter per thread, instead of one global counter. This makes threads properly independent with respect to the GC, in particular threads can now independently lock the GC for themselves without locking it for other threads. It also means a given thread can run a hard IRQ without temporarily locking the GC for all other threads and potentially making them have MemoryError exceptions at random locations (this really only occurs on MCUs with multiple cores and no GIL, eg on the rp2 port). The commit also removes protection of the GC lock/unlock functions, which is no longer needed when the counter is per thread (and this also fixes the cas where a hard IRQ calling gc_lock() may stall waiting for the mutex). It also puts the check for `gc_lock_depth > 0` outside the GC mutex in gc_alloc, gc_realloc and gc_free, to potentially prevent a hard IRQ from waiting on a mutex if it does attempt to allocate heap memory (and putting the check outside the GC mutex is now safe now that there is a gc_lock_depth per thread).

README
This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython. To run all stable tests, run "run-tests.py" script in this directory. Tests of capabilities not supported on all platforms should be written to check for the capability being present. If it is not, the test should merely output 'SKIP' followed by the line terminator, and call sys.exit() to raise SystemExit, instead of attempting to test the missing capability. The testing framework (run-tests.py in this directory, test_main.c in qemu_arm) recognizes this as a skipped test. There are a few features for which this mechanism cannot be used to condition a test. The run-tests.py script uses small scripts in the feature_check directory to check whether each such feature is present, and skips the relevant tests if not. Tests are generally verified by running the test both in MicroPython and in CPython and comparing the outputs. If the output differs the test fails and the outputs are saved in a .out and a .exp file respectively. For tests that cannot be run in CPython, for example because they use the machine module, a .exp file can be provided next to the test's .py file. A convenient way to generate that is to run the test, let it fail (because CPython cannot run it) and then copy the .out file (but not before checking it manually!) When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the float/ subdirectory. Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
