a6ea6b08bc py: Simplify some cases of accessing the map of module and type dict.
mp_obj_module_get_globals() returns a mp_obj_dict_t*, and type->locals_dict
is a mp_obj_dict_t*, so access the map entry of the dict directly instead
of needing to cast this mp_obj_dict_t* up to an object and then calling the
mp_obj_dict_get_map() helper function.

4601759bf5 py/objstr: Remove "make_qstr_if_not_already" arg from mp_obj_new_str.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned.  To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.

Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).

da8c4c2653 py/builtinhelp: Change signature of help text var from pointer to array.
As a pointer (const char *) it takes up an extra word of storage which is
in RAM.

f5172af1c4 py/builtinhelp: Implement help('modules') to list available modules.
This is how CPython does it, and it's very useful to help users discover
the available modules for a given port, especially built-in and frozen
modules.  The function does not list modules that are in the filesystem
because this would require a fair bit of work to do correctly, and is very
port specific (depending on the filesystem).

9f04dfb568 py: Add builtin help function to core, with default help msg.
This builtin is configured using MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_HELP, and is disabled
by default.
