.. defaulting to off for circuitpython-supported boards, on for others.
.. fixing up the tests that fail when it is turned off, so that they skip
instead of failing
This patch makes a repeat counter behave the same as repeating the
typecode, when there are not enough args. For example:
struct.pack('2I', 1) now behave the same as struct.pack('II', 1).
The 'S' typecode is a uPy extension so it should be grouped with the other
extension (namely 'O' typecode). Testing 'S' needs uctypes which is an
extmod module and not always available, so this test is made optional and
will only be run on ports that have (u)struct and uctypes. Otherwise it
will be silently skipped.
