Since commit e65d1e69e8 there is no longer an
io.FileIO class, so this option is no longer needed.
This option also controlled whether or not files supported being opened in
binary mode (eg 'rb'), and could, if disabled, lead to confusion as to why
opening a file in binary mode silently did the wrong thing (it would just
open in text mode if MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was disabled).
The various VFS implementations (POSIX, FAT, LFS) were the only places
where enabling this option made a difference, and in almost all cases where
one of these filesystems were enabled, MICROPY_PY_IO_FILEIO was also
enabled. So it makes sense to just unconditionally enable this feature
(ability to open a file in binary mode) in all cases, and so just remove
this config option altogether. That makes configuration simpler and means
binary file support always exists (and opening a file in binary mode is
arguably more fundamental than opening in text mode, so if anything should
be configurable then it should be the ability to open in text mode).

This commit adds support for modification time of files on littlefs v2
filesystems, using file attributes. For some background see issue #6114.
Features/properties of this implementation:
- Only supported on littlefs2 (not littlefs1).
- Uses littlefs2's general file attributes to store the timestamp.
- The timestamp is 64-bits and stores nanoseconds since 1970/1/1 (if the
range to the year 2554 is not enough then additional bits can be added to
this timestamp by adding another file attribute).
- mtime is enabled by default but can be disabled in the constructor, eg:
uos.mount(uos.VfsLfs2(bdev, mtime=False), '/flash')
- It's fully backwards compatible, existing littlefs2 filesystems will work
without reformatting and timestamps will be added transparently to
existing files (once they are opened for writing).
- Files without timestamps will open correctly, and stat will just return 0
for their timestamp.
- mtime can be disabled or enabled each mount time and timestamps will only
be updated if mtime is enabled (otherwise they will be untouched).
