extmod/vfs: Check block 0 and 1 when auto-detecting littlefs.

The superblock for littlefs is in block 0 and 1, but block 0 may be erased
or partially written, so block 1 must be checked if block 0 does not have a
valid littlefs superblock in it.

Prior to this commit, the mount of a block device which auto-detected the
filysystem type would fail for littlefs if block 0 did not contain a valid
superblock.  That is now fixed.
