esp8266 port now has working raw and friendly REPL, as well as working
soft reset (CTRL-D at REPL, or raise SystemExit).

tools/pyboard.py now works with esp8266 port.

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.

To enable parsing constants more efficiently, mp_parse should be allowed
to raise an exception, and mp_compile can already raise a MemoryError.
So these functions need to be protected by an nlr push/pop block.

This patch adds that feature in all places.  This allows to simplify how
mp_parse and mp_compile are called: they now raise an exception if they
have an error and so explicit checking is not needed anymore.

This enable libc functions, GC, and line-editing function. Also, UART
emulation for POSIX systems is added. Emulation build is set as default.

Unlike bare-arm, which is mostly intended to show raw interpreter size,
without library and support code dependencies. This port is intended to
be a better base to start new ports, and also will include emulation
build to allow debug some aspects of embedded targets on POSIX systems.

This initial commit is verbatim copy of bare-arm code.

This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure.  Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.

The function is modeled after traceback.print_exception(), but unbloated,
and put into existing module to save overhead on adding another module.
Compliant traceback.print_exception() is intended to be implemented in
micropython-lib in terms of sys.print_exception().

This change required refactoring mp_obj_print_exception() to take pfenv_t
interface arguments.

Addresses #751.

mp_lexer_t type is exposed, mp_token_t type is removed, and simple lexer
functions (like checking current token kind) are now inlined.

This saves 784 bytes ROM on 32-bit unix, 348 bytes on stmhal, and 460
bytes on bare-arm.  It also saves a tiny bit of RAM since mp_lexer_t
is a bit smaller.  Also will run a bit more efficiently.

Required to build bare-arm with debugging.

This makes open() and _io.FileIO() more CPython compliant.
The mode kwarg is fully iplemented.
The encoding kwarg is allowed but not implemented; mainly to allow
the tests to specify encoding for CPython, see #874

mp_parse_node_free now frees the memory associated with non-interned
strings.  And the parser calls mp_parse_node_free when discarding a
non-used node (such as a doc string).

Also, the compiler now frees the parse tree explicitly just before it
exits (as opposed to relying on the caller to do this).

Addresses issue #708 as best we can.

qstr_init is always called exactly before mp_init, so makes sense to
just have mp_init call it.  Similarly with
mp_init_emergency_exception_buf.  Doing this makes the ports simpler and
less error prone (ie they can no longer forget to call these).
