See discussion in issue #50.

See issue #608 for justification.

Updated functions now do proper checking that n_kw==0, and are simpler
because they don't have to explicitly raise an exception.  Down side is
that the error messages no longer include the function name, but that's
acceptable.

Saves order 300 text bytes on x64 and ARM.

Blanket wide to all .c and .h files.  Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.

Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.

Specifically, nlr.h does.

Also make consistent use of MP_OBJ_NOT_SUPPORTED and MP_OBJ_NULL.
This helps a lot in debugging and understanding of function API.

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

To address issue #420.

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.

Addresses issue #388.

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.

Some tools do not support local/static symbols (one example is GNU ld map file).
Exposing all functions will allow to do detailed size comparisons, etc.

Also, added bunch of statics where they were missing, and replaced few identity
functions with global mp_identity().

__bool__() and __len__() are just the same as __neg__() or __invert__(),
and require efficient dispatching implementation (not requiring search/lookup).
type->unary_op() is just the right choice for this short of adding
standalone virtual method(s) to already big mp_obj_type_t structure.

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

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.

Addresses issue #104.

It's not really about that, though; it's about me figuring out a sane
way forward for keyword-argument functions (and function
metadata). But it's useful as is, and shouldn't break any existing
code, so here you have it; I'm going to park it in my mind for a bit
while sorting out the rest of the dict branch.

Now much more inline with how CPython does types.

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).
