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/.
Improved the Thumb assembler back end. Added many more Thumb
instructions to the inline assembler. Improved parsing of assembler
instructions and arguments. Assembler functions can now be passed the
address of any object that supports the buffer protocol (to get the
address of the buffer). Added an example of how to sum numbers from
an array in assembler.
With MICROPY_EMIT_X64 and MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB disabled, the respective
emitters and assemblers will not be included in the code. This can
significantly reduce binary size for unix version.
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.
Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
