It's Light Emitting Diode, so should be LED.

Main reason for expanding buffer protocol API was to support writes to a
buffer in ADC module (see read_timed).  With this change you can now
create an array of arbitrary type and ADC.read_timed will store into
that array in the correct format (byte, int, float).  I wonder though if
all these changes were really worth it to support just this function.
Hopefully this enhanced buffer protocol API (with typecode specified)
will be used elsewhere.

This is an attempt to clean up the Micro Python API on the pyboard.
Gpio functionality is now in the Pin object, which seems more natural.
Constants for MODE and PULL are now in pyb.Pin.  Names of some
classes have been adjusted to conform to CamelCase.  Other
miscellaneous changes and clean up here and there.

When querying an object that supports the buffer protocol, that object
must now return a typecode (as per binary.[ch]).  This does not have to
be honoured by the caller, but can be useful for determining element
size.

We are not as verbose as CPython, and maybe a bit too cryptic sometimes.

Test usecase I used is print(time.time()) and print(time.time() - time.time()).
On Linux/Glibc they now give the same output as CPython 3.3. Specifically,
time.time() gives non-exponential output with 7 decimal digits, and subtraction
gives exponential output e-06/e-07.

I skipped implementing this initially, but then it causes __name__
of current module be overwritten and relative imports fail.

On stmhal, computed gotos make the binary about 1k bigger, but makes it
run faster, and we have the room, so why not.  All tests pass on
pyboard using computed gotos.

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

mp_obj_t->subscr now does load/store/delete.

With this fix, all tests in tests/basics pass on pyboard.

mem_info() is already pretty hacky, let it be more hacky.

I.e. with its own globals. So, just as for functions, we need to switch
globals when resuming a generator.

This follows pattern already used for objtuple, etc.: objfun.h's content
is not public - each and every piece of code should not have access to it.
It's not private either - with out architecture and implementation language
(C) it doesn't make sense to keep implementation of each object strictly
private and maintain cumbersome accessors. It's "local" - intended to be
used by a small set of "friend" (in C++ terms) objects.

Addresses issue #487.

Any generated headers go in $(BUILD)/genhdr/, and are #included as
'genhdr/xxx.h'.
