There is no need to take src_len and dest_len arguments.  The case of
reading-only with a single output byte (originally src_len=1, dest_len>1)
is now handled by using the output buffer as the input buffer, and using
memset to fill the output byte into this buffer.  This simplifies the
implementations of the spi_transfer protocol function.

This resolves issue #2343.

Reduces code size for some archs.

Similar to how binary op already works.  Common unary operations already
have fast paths for bool so there's no need to have explicit handling of
ops in bool_unary_op, especially since they have the same behaviour as
integers.

Files in lib/cmsis are generic for all Cortex-M MCU's
files left in stmhal/cmsis are all STM32 specific.

Saves 50-100 bytes of code.

On 32-bit archs this makes the scope_t struct 48 bytes in size, which fits
in 3 GC blocks (previously it used 4 GC blocks).  This will lead to some
savings when compiling scripts because there are usually quite a few scopes,
one for each function and class.

Note that qstrs will fit in 16 bits, this assumption is made in a few other
places.

Generates slightly smaller and more efficient code.

Utility functions for keyboard interrupt handling, to be reused across
(baremetal) ports.

The memory read/write I2C functions now take an optional keyword-only
parameter that specifies the number of bits in the memory address.
Only mem-addrs that are a multiple of 8-bits are supported (otherwise
the behaviour is undefined).

Due to the integer type used for the address, for values larger than 32
bits, only 32 bits of address will be sent, and the rest will be padded
with 0s. Right now no exception is raised when that happens. For values
smaller than 8, no address is sent. Also no exception then.

Tested with a VL6180 sensor, which has 16-bit register addresses.

Due to code refactoring, this patch reduces stmhal and esp8266 builds
by about 50 bytes.

There is now just the exception instance on the stack when an exception is
raised, not the full (type, exc, traceback).

Following how other objects work, set/frozenset methods should use the
mp_check_self() macro to check the type of the self argument, because in
most cases this check can be a null operation.

Saves about 100-180 bytes of code for builds with set and frozenset
enabled.

It's simpler and improves code coverage.

The native emitter/compiler restricts viper functions to 4 args, so there
is no need for an extra check in the dynamic dispatch.

To reset the flags we should write to the single bit only, not the entire
register (otherwise all other settings in the register are cleared).

Fixes #2457.

Having a micropython.const identity function, and writing "from micropython
import const" at the start of scripts that use the const feature, allows to
write scripts which are compatible with CPython, and with uPy builds that
don't include const optimisation.

This patch adds such a function and updates the tests to do the import.

This corresponds to the change in the way exception values are stored on
the Python value stack.

When an exception is raised and is to be handled by the VM, it is stored
on the Python value stack so the bytecode can access it.  CPython stores
3 objects on the stack for each exception: exc type, exc instance and
traceback.  uPy followed this approach, but it turns out not to be
necessary.  Instead, it is enough to store just the exception instance on
the Python value stack.  The only place where the 3 values are needed
explicitly is for the __exit__ handler of a with-statement context, but
for these cases the 3 values can be extracted from the single exception
instance.

This patch removes the need to store 3 values on the stack, and instead
just stores the exception instance.

Code size is reduced by about 50-100 bytes, the compiler and VM are
slightly simpler, generate bytecode is smaller (by 2 bytes for each try
block), and the Python value stack is reduced in size for functions that
handle exceptions.

Fixes for more pedantic warnings.
