Otherwise, they serve reoccurring source of copy-paste mistakes and
breaking nanbox build.

This updates the print function for machine.Pin to
print out the new constants from the Hardware API defintion
rather than the legacy definitions.

The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure.  So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that).  This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.

py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for.  A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.

Looks like we can use the same Pin class for legacy pyb module and new
machine module.

Extracted GPIO clock enable logic into mp_hal_gpio_clock_enable
and called from anyplace which might need to use GPIO functions
on ports other than A-D.

Thanks to Dave Hylands for the patch.

Saves 68 bytes.

Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess.  This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.

All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf.  All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.

Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform.  The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.

With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...).  Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.

A GC in stmhal port now only scans true root pointers, not entire BSS.
This reduces base GC time from 1700ms to 900ms.

Addressing issue #50, still some way to go yet.

Added some functions to Pin class to query mode, pull, and af

Trying to move towards consistency, let's use _ exclusively in names of
source files (eg .c, .h, .csv).

Converts generted pins to use qstrs instead of string pointers.

This patch also adds the following functions:
pyb.Pin.names()
pyb.Pin.af_list()
pyb.Pin.gpio()

dir(pyb.Pin.board) and dir(pyb.Pin.cpu) also produce useful results.

pyb.Pin now takes kw args.

pyb.Pin.__str__ now prints more useful information about the pin
configuration.

I found the following functions in my boot.py to be useful:
```python
def pins():
    for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
        pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
        print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin)))

def af():
    for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
        pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
        print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin.af_list())))
```

Specifically, teensy port does not have these macros defined.

Make a clearer distinction between init functions that must be done
before any scripts can run (xxx_init0) and those that can be safely
deferred (xxx_init).

Fix bug initialising USB VCP exception.  Addresses issue #788.

Re-order some init function to improve reliability of
reset/soft-reset.

Addresses issue #724.

See discussion in issue #50.

Refactored some stmhal files which are shared with teensy.

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/.

Decided to write own script to pull documentation from comments in C code.
Style for writing auto generated documentation is: start line with ///
and then use standard markdown to write the comment.  Keywords
recognised by the scraper begin with backslash.  See code for examples.

Running: python gendoc.py modpyb.c accel.c adc.c dac.c extint.c i2c.c
led.c pin.c rng.c servo.c spi.c uart.c usrsw.c, will generate a HTML
structure in gendoc-out/.

gendoc.py is crude but functional.  Needed something quick, and this was
it.

Also some updates to compile with latest changes to core py.
