Needed to reinstate 2 delete opcodes, to specifically check that a local
is not deleted twice.

Small reduction in ROM, heap and stack usage.

Convert int types to uint where sensible, and then to uint8_t or
uint16_t where possible to reduce RAM usage.

On x64, native emitter now passes 70 of the tests.

Very little has changed.  In Python 3.4 they removed the opcode
STORE_LOCALS, but in Micro Python we only ever used this for CPython
compatibility, so it was a trivial thing to remove.  It also allowed to
clean up some dead code (eg the 0xdeadbeef in class construction), and
now class builders use 1 less stack word.

Python 3.4.0 introduced the LOAD_CLASSDEREF opcode, which I have not
yet understood.  Still, all tests (apart from bytecode test) still pass.
Bytecode tests needs some more attention, but they are not that
important anymore.

In preparation for implementing default keyword arguments.

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.

Remove unnecessary includes. Add includes that improve portability.

Native emitter has been broken since stack order has changed from
reverse to standard.  This fix gets it partially working.

IS_NOT and NOT_IN are now compiled to IS + NOT and IN + NOT, with a new
special NOT bytecode.

Still todo: break/continue from within the finally block itself.

LOAD_METHOD bug was: emitbc did not correctly calculate the amount of
stack usage for a LOAD_METHOD operation.

small int bug was: int was being used to pass small ints, when it should
have been machine_int_t.

There can be multiple emitters allocated during compile (eg byte code
and native).

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

Byte code has a map from byte-code offset to source-code line number,
used to give better error messages.

Change state layout in VM so the stack starts at state[0] and grows
upwards.  Locals are at the top end of the state and number downwards.
This cleans up a lot of the interface connecting the VM to C: now all
functions that take an array of Micro Python objects are in order (ie no
longer in reverse).

Also clean up C API with keyword arguments (call_n and call_n_kw
replaced with single call method that takes keyword arguments).  And now
make_new takes keyword arguments.

emitnative.c has not yet been changed to comply with the new order of
stack layout.

With MICROPY_EMIT_X64 and MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB disabled, the respective
emitters and assemblers will not be included in the code.  This can
significantly reduce binary size for unix version.

A big change.  Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object).  This scheme follows CPython.  Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.

Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
