Based on extmod/utime_mphal.c, with:
- a globals dict added
- time.localtime wrapper added
- time.time wrapper added
- time.time_ns function added
New configuration options are added for this module:
- MICROPY_PY_UTIME (enabled at basic features level)
- MICROPY_PY_UTIME_GMTIME_LOCALTIME_MKTIME
- MICROPY_PY_UTIME_TIME_TIME_NS

It's no longer needed because this macro is now processed after
preprocessing the source code via cpp (in the qstr extraction stage), which
means unused MP_REGISTER_MODULE's are filtered out by the preprocessor.

It requires mp_hal_time_ns() to be provided by a port. This function
allows very accurate absolute timestamps.
Enabled on unix, windows, stm32, esp8266 and esp32.

For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).
Otherwise, there is no functional change made by this commit.

To portably get the Epoch. This is simply aliased to localtime() on ports
that are not timezone aware.

Newer versions of the HAL use names which are cleaner and more
self-consistent amongst the HAL itself. This patch switches to use those
names in most places so it is easier to update the HAL in the future.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
