This is CPython-compliant (except that CPython doesn't support buffer
protocol for str).

Some BSD socket functions don't return error numbers in errno namespace, but
rather in other error namespaces. CPython resolves this by using OSError
subclasses for them. We don't do that so far, so there's ambiguity here.

Well, Python3 also defines an attribute for that, but that's bloat.

This is to reduce ROM usage.  stream_p is used in file and socket types
only (at the moment), so seems a good idea to make the protocol
functions a pointer instead of the actual structure.

It saves 308 bytes of ROM in the stmhal/ port, 928 in unix/.

This does not affect code size or performance when debugging turned off.

To address issue #420.

Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation.  Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead.  map.h is removed.

Mostly just a global search and replace.  Except rt_is_true which
becomes mp_obj_is_true.

Still would like to tidy up some of the names, but this will do for now.

Originally, .methods was used for methods in a ROM class, and
locals_dict for methods in a user-created class.  That distinction is
unnecessary, and we can use locals_dict for ROM classes now that we have
ROMable maps.

This removes an entry in the bloated mp_obj_type_t struct, saving a word
for each ROM object and each RAM object.  ROM objects that have a
methods table (now a locals_dict) need an extra word in total (removed
the methods pointer (1 word), no longer need the sentinel (2 words), but
now need an mp_obj_dict_t wrapper (4 words)).  But RAM objects save a
word because they never used the methods entry.

Overall the ROM usage is down by a few hundred bytes, and RAM usage is
down 1 word per user-defined type/class.

There is less code (no need to check 2 tables), and now consistent with
the way ROM modules have their tables initialised.

Efficiency is very close to equivaluent.

Addresses issue #377.

Remove unnecessary includes. Add includes that improve portability.

Each built-in exception is now a type, with base type BaseException.
C exceptions are created by passing a pointer to the exception type to
make an instance of.  When raising an exception from the VM, an
instance is created automatically if an exception type is raised (as
opposed to an exception instance).

Exception matching (RT_BINARY_OP_EXCEPTION_MATCH) is now proper.

Handling of parse error changed to match new exceptions.

mp_const_type renamed to mp_type_type for consistency.

Ultimately all static strings should be qstr.  This entry in the type
structure is only used for printing error messages (to tell the type of
the bad argument), and printing objects that don't supply a .print method.

Unlike CPython socket, microsocket object already implements stream protocol
(read/write methods), so makefile() just returns object itself. TODO: this
doesn't take care of arguments CPython's makefile() may accept.

Implementation is duplicated, but tolerate this for now, because there's
no clear idea how to de-dup it.

It's no longer intended to provide just "raw" socket interface, may include
some convenience methods for compatibility with CPython socket - but anyway
just minimal set required to deal with socket client and servers, not wider
network functionality.

Can't decide which is better for string type, char or byte pointer.
Changing to char removes a few casts.  Really need to do proper unicode.

-147 bytes on x86.

Can now have null bytes in strings.  Can define ROM qstrs per port using
qstrdefsport.h

CPython _socket actually have only those and doesn't provide stream
interface (higher-level CPython "socket" what adds this).

+516 bytes x86.
