vstr_extend will now only return NULL if the vstr is a fixed buffer, which
in this case it is not.

The issue-stats service is not well maintained and likely the situation
won't improve in the future.  See:
https://github.com/hstove/issue_stats/issues/41

This is required to use mbedTLS versions from various sources, e.g.
mainline vs embedded into Zephyr RTOS.

Unlike standard keyfile= and certfile=, these accept byte buffer objects
(to not depend on FS implementation).

Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to allow the full 32-bit address range
as first parameter.

One can instead lookup __name__ in the modules dict to get the value.

Use MP_NOINLINE macro to avoid inlining of init_flash_fs. This helps
to keep stack usage of main() low.

So now ticks_ms can count up to the full 30 bits.  Fixes issue #2412.

With mpy-cross built, tests can now be run by first compiling them to .mpy
files, and then executing the .mpy file.  Usage: ./run-tests --via-mpy

The showbc function now no longer uses the system printf so works
correctly.

The system printf is no longer used by the core uPy code.  Instead, the
platform print stream or DEBUG_printf is used.  Using DEBUG_printf in the
showbc functions would mean that the code can't be tested by the test
suite, so use the normal output instead.

This patch also fixes parsing of bytecode-line-number mappings.

qstrs are always null terminated so qstr_str will stay as part of the API.

UART1 can be used even if the switch is enabled.  The schematics for this
board make I2C1 available on PB8/PB9, even though it can also be mapped
to PB6/PB7.

See #2396 and #2427.

The vstr.had_error flag was a relic from the very early days which assumed
that the malloc functions (eg m_new, m_renew) returned NULL if they failed
to allocate.  But that's no longer the case: these functions will raise an
exception if they fail.

Since it was impossible for had_error to be set, this patch introduces no
change in behaviour.

An alternative option would be to change the malloc calls to the _maybe
variants, which return NULL instead of raising, but then a lot of code
will need to explicitly check if the vstr had an error and raise if it
did.

The code-size savings for this patch are, in bytes: bare-arm:188,
minimal:456, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):368, stmhal:228, esp8266:360.

With the previous patch combining 3 emit functions into 1, it now makes
sense to also combine the corresponding VM opcodes, which is what this
patch does.  This eliminates 2 opcodes which simplifies the VM and reduces
code size, in bytes: bare-arm:44, minimal:64, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):272,
stmhal:92, esp8266:200.  Profiling (with a simple script that creates many
list/dict/set comprehensions) shows no measurable change in performance.

The 3 kinds of comprehensions are similar enough that merging their emit
functions reduces code size.  Decreases in code size in bytes are:
bare-arm:24, minimal:96, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):328, stmhal:80, esp8266:76.

Instead of busy-looping waiting for UART input. Not enabled by default,
needs more testing.

A port now just needs to define FROZEN_DIR var and add $(BUILD)/frozen.c
to SRC_C to support frozen modules.

With FROZEN_MPY_DIR.

Takes element primitive type encoded as a char per standard JNI encoding,
and array size. TODO: Support object arrays.

bool(None) has a fast path in mp_obj_is_true so doesn't need to be
handled in none_unary_op.  The only caveat is that subclassing may
bypass the mp_obj_is_true function, but actually you aren't allowed to
subclass classes that have singleton instances like NoneType (see
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-March/020822.html for
reference on this point).
