Only calcsize() and unpack() functions provided so far, for little-endian
byte order. Format strings don't support repition spec (like "2b3i").

Unfortunately, dealing with all the various binary type sizes and alignments
will lead to quite a bloated "binary" helper functions  - if optimizing for
speed. Need to think if using dynamic parametrized algos makes more sense.

Syntax is usual C #if*/#endif, but each qstr must be wrapped individually.

Remove exception name from inside the exception message

This prevents micropython printing exception messages like
ImportError: ImportError: No module named 'foo'

mp_obj_is_integer should be used to check if an object is of integral
type.  It returns true for bool, small int and long int.

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

So we can add more flags.

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.

Can now calibrate, set pulse width, angle and speed.

Fix make-pins.py to support having multiple names for a pin.

SW and X17 now both map to PB3

Fixes #449.

With the implementation of proper string formatting, code to print a
small int was delegated to mpz_as_str_inpl (after first converting the
small int to an mpz using stack memory).  But mpz_as_str_inpl allocates
heap memory to do the conversion, so small ints needed heap memory just
to be printed.

This fix has a separate function to print small ints, which does not
allocate heap, and allocates less stack.

String formatting, printf and pfenv are now large beasts, with some
semi-duplicated code.

These two are apprerently the most concise and efficient way to convert
int to/from bytes in Python. The alternatives are struct and array modules,
but methods using them are more verbose in Python code and less efficient
in memory/cycles.
