Some ports which actually don't have audioio or audiobusio were still
calling into audio_dma_background(). This wasn't an error until
the assignment to audio_dma_state in audio_dma_stop was added, though
it's not clear why.
audio_dma_stop can be reached twice in normal usage of AudioOut.
This may bear further investigation, but stop it here, by making the
function check for a previously freed channel number. This also prevents
the event channel from being disabled twice.
The first stop location is from audio_dma_get_playing, when the buffers
are exhausted; the second is from common_hal_audioio_audioout_stop when
checking the 'playing' flag.
As identified in #1908, when both AudioOut and PDMIn are used, hard
locks can occur. Because audio_dma_stop didn't clear audio_dma_state[],
a future call to audio_dma_load_next_block could occur using a DMA
object which belongs to PDMIn.
I believe that this Closes: #1908 though perhaps it is still not the full
story.
Testing performed: Loaded a sketch similar to the one on #1908 that
tends to reproduce the bug within ~30s. Ran for >300s without hard
lock. HOWEVER, while my cpx is no longer hard locking, it occasionally
(<1 / 200s) announces
Code done running. Waiting for reload.
(and does so), even though my main loop is surrounded by a 'while True:'
condition, so there are still gremlins nearby.
The original formulation was because I saw the need to avoid a transition
from playing to stopped exactly when a resume was taking place. However,
@tannewt was concerned about this pause causing trouble, because it could
be relatively lengthy (several ms even in a typical case).
After reflection, I've convinced myself that updating the registers
in this order in resume avoids a window where a "stopped" event can
be missed as long as the shortcut is updated first.
Testing re-performed: pause/resume testing of looped RawSample and
WaveFile audio sources.
Testing performed: installed freshly built .uf2 on a Particle Xenon.
Checked that circuitpython still starts.
Checked that the size of all .uf2 files for nrf builds are plausible.
Aside from memory savings, the performance of Python code (pystone)
increased by about +14%.
However, this adds about 12-16 seconds to each nrf build.

This implements AudioOut, with known caveats:
* pause/resume are not yet implemented (this is just a bug)
* at best, the sample fidelity is 8 bits (this is a hardware limitation)
Testing performed:
My test system is a Particle Xenon with a PAM8302 op-amp
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2130 and 8-ohm speaker. There's no
analog filtering between the Xenon's PWM pin and the "A+" input of
the amplifier; the "A-" pin is disconnected. It is powered from
VUSB.
I used pin D4, which is *NOT* listed as a low-speed-only pin, but
the code does NOT switch the pin to high drive. This is related to
an open issue for general inability to set drive level for pins
being used by a "special function" on nrf:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/1270
Nothing about the code I've written should limit the usable pins.
All samples I played were 16-bit, generally monophonic at 11025Hz
and 22050Hz from the Debian LibreOffice package.
When nrf pwm audio is introduced, it will be called `audiopwmio`. To
enable code sharing with the existing (dac-based) `audioio`, factor
the sample and mixer types to `audiocore`.
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Now, `Mixer`, `RawSample` and `WaveFile` must
be imported from `audiocore`, not `audioio`.
This also improves Palette so it stores the original RGB888 colors.
Lastly, it adds I2CDisplay as a display bus to talk over I2C. Particularly
useful for the SSD1306.

- Add copy-pasteable Arch Linux `arm-none-eabi-gcc` install line similar to Ubuntu example
- Add `arm-none-eabi-newlib` as a required package for Arch
- Reformat Ubuntu and Arch install code-blocks to catch the eye for the impatient
Arch Linux changed their packaging for [arm-none-eabi-gcc](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/arm-none-eabi-gcc/) by creating [arm-none-eabi-newlib](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/arm-none-eabi-newlib/) as an optional package. Without it users will get errors about missing header files like:

I designed this really tiny, minimalist font for use on very small
displays. On uGame it lets one see the whole text that CircuitPython
prints on boot. The characters are 4x6 pixels each, and they are
optimized for legibility (large x-height, right angles, blocky shapes).
It might make sense to also use that font in other boards.
Different operations to the display tree have different costs. Be
aware of these costs when optimizing your code.
* Changing tiles indices in a TileGrid will update an area
covering them all.
* Changing a palette will refresh every object that references it.
* Moving a TileGrid will update both where it was and where it moved to.
* Adding something to a Group will refresh each individual area it
covers.
* Removing things from a Group will refresh one area that covers all
previous locations. (Not separate areas like add.)
* Setting a new top level Group will refresh the entire display.
Only TileGrid moves are optimized for overlap. All other overlaps
cause sending of duplicate pixels.
This also adds flip_x, flip_y and transpose_xy to TileGrid. They
change the direction of the pixels but not the location.
Fixes#1169. Fixes#1705. Fixes#1923.
This changes the displayio pixel computation from per-pixel to
per-area. This is precursor work to updating portions of the screen
(#1169). It should provide mild speedups because bounds checks are
done once per area rather than once per pixel. Filling by area also
allows TileGrid to maintain a row-associative fill pattern even when
the display's refresh is orthogonal to it.
