This also tweaks the repr for unicode strings to only escape a few
utf-8 code points. This makes emoji show in os.listdir() for
example.
Also, enable exfat support on full builds.
Fixes#5146
The EVSYS is used to generate an interrupt from the event. This
simplifies timing used in pulseio that conflicted with the
auto-reload countdown.
Fixes#3890
On ESP ctrl-c during fake sleep will now stop the sleep. A crash
on real deep sleep is now fixed as well. (Exception string saving
was crashing on reading the deep sleep exception.) Fixes#4010
This also fixes nRF fake sleep after the first time. The internal
variable wasn't being reset early enough. Fixes#4869
This commit makes gc_lock_depth have one counter per thread, instead of one
global counter. This makes threads properly independent with respect to
the GC, in particular threads can now independently lock the GC for
themselves without locking it for other threads. It also means a given
thread can run a hard IRQ without temporarily locking the GC for all other
threads and potentially making them have MemoryError exceptions at random
locations (this really only occurs on MCUs with multiple cores and no GIL,
eg on the rp2 port).
The commit also removes protection of the GC lock/unlock functions, which
is no longer needed when the counter is per thread (and this also fixes the
cas where a hard IRQ calling gc_lock() may stall waiting for the mutex).
It also puts the check for `gc_lock_depth > 0` outside the GC mutex in
gc_alloc, gc_realloc and gc_free, to potentially prevent a hard IRQ from
waiting on a mutex if it does attempt to allocate heap memory (and putting
the check outside the GC mutex is now safe now that there is a
gc_lock_depth per thread).

From a version numbering point of view this is a downgrade (2.17.0 ->
2.16.x). However the latest commit for version 2.17.0 is from March 2019
and no further minor release happened after 2.17.0. This version is EOL.
2.16.x though is still actively maintained as a long term release, hence
security and stability fixes are still being backported, including
compatibility with upcoming compiler releases.
The rp2040 is _very_ marginal for mp3 playback, and currently sometimes triggers a bug that gives garbled audio output. However, it does work for some limited situations.
