mp_kbd_exception is now considered the standard variable name to hold the
singleton KeyboardInterrupt exception.

This patch also moves the creation of this object from pyb_usb_init() to
main().

There's no need to force ports to copy-and-paste this initialisation
code.  If FSUSERMOUNT is enabled then this zeroing out must be done.

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

- Put the I2C bus on the corect pins
- Add the appropriate board_init to power the shield

This patch adds support to fsusermount for multiple block devices
(instead of just one).  The maximum allowed is fixed at compile time by
the size of the fs_user_mount array accessed via MP_STATE_PORT, which
in turn is set by MICROPY_FATFS_VOLUMES.

With this patch, stmhal (which is still tightly coupled to fsusermount)
is also modified to support mounting multiple devices   And the flash and
SD card are now just two block devices that are mounted at start up if
they exist (and they have special native code to make them more
efficient).

TIM3 is no longer used by USB CDC for triggering outgoing data, so we
can now make it available to the user.

PWM fading on LED(4) is now gone, but will be reinstated in a new way.

Calling it from mp_init() is too late for some ports (like Unix), and leads
to incomplete stack frame being captured, with following GC issues. So, now
each port should call mp_stack_ctrl_init() on its own, ASAP after startup,
and taking special precautions so it really was called before stack variables
get allocated (because if such variable with a pointer is missed, it may lead
to over-collecting (typical symptom is segfaulting)).

Currently nlr_jump_fail prints that there was an uncaught exception
but nothing about the exception.
This patch causes nlr_jump_failed to try to print the exception.
Given that printf was called on the line above, I think that
the call to mp_obj_print_exception has about as much likelyhood
of succeeding as the printf does.

When you use the USER button to perform a filesystem reset
at boot time then it wipes out the filesystem and creates
a new boot.py and main.py.  With this patch these files are
executed after formatting, ensuring that pyb and machine modules
get imported.

This is a hack to free up TIM3 so that it can be used by the user.
Instead we use the PVD irq to call the USB VCP polling function, and
trigger it from SysTick (so SysTick itself does not do any processing).

The feature is enabled for pyboard lite only, since it lacks timers.

If RTC is already running at boot then it's left alone.  Otherwise, RTC is
started at boot but startup function returns straight away.  RTC startup
is then finished the first time it is used.  Fallback to LSI if LSE fails
to start in a certain time.

Also included:
 MICROPY_HW_CLK_LAST_FREQ
        hold pyb.freq() parameters in RTC backup reg
 MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_US
        option to present datetime sub-seconds in microseconds
 MICROPY_HW_RTC_USE_CALOUT
        option to enable RTC calibration output

CLK_LAST_FREQ and RTC_USE_CALOUT are enabled for PYBv1.0.

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.

Use this to set the global optimisation value when executing the main
script (and all scripts it imports).

Thanks to Dave Hylands for the patch.

This helps make files reusable across other ports.

Now all ports can use pybstdio.c to provide sys.stdin/stdout/stderr, so
long as they implement mp_hal_stdin_* and mp_hal_stdout_* functions.

Different HID modes can be configured in Python.  You can either use
predefined mouse or keyboard, or write your own report descriptor.

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

This is so it's compatible with Windows.

UART object now uses a stream-like interface: read, readall, readline,
readinto, readchar, write, writechar.

Timeouts are configured when the UART object is initialised, using
timeout and timeout_char keyword args.

The object includes optional read buffering, using interrupts.  You can set
the buffer size dynamically using read_buf_len keyword arg.  A size of 0
disables buffering.
