David Lechner 3dc324d3f1 tests: Format all Python code with black, except tests in basics subdir.
This adds the Python files in the tests/ directory to be formatted with
./tools/codeformat.py.  The basics/ subdirectory is excluded for now so we
aren't changing too much at once.

In a few places `# fmt: off`/`# fmt: on` was used where the code had
special formatting for readability or where the test was actually testing
the specific formatting.

Damien George 23f0691fdd py/persistentcode: Make .mpy more compact with qstr directly in prelude.
Instead of encoding 4 zero bytes as placeholders for the simple_name and
source_file qstrs, and storing the qstrs after the bytecode, store the
qstrs at the location of these 4 bytes.  This saves 4 bytes per bytecode
function stored in a .mpy file (for example lcd160cr.mpy drops by 232
bytes, 4x 58 functions).  And resulting code size is slightly reduced on
ports that use this feature.

Damien George c8c0fd4ca3 py: Rework and compress second part of bytecode prelude.
This patch compresses the second part of the bytecode prelude which
contains the source file name, function name, source-line-number mapping
and cell closure information.  This part of the prelude now begins with a
single varible length unsigned integer which encodes 2 numbers, being the
byte-size of the following 2 sections in the header: the "source info
section" and the "closure section".  After decoding this variable unsigned
integer it's possible to skip over one or both of these sections very
easily.

This scheme saves about 2 bytes for most functions compared to the original
format: one in the case that there are no closure cells, and one because
padding was eliminated.

Damien George b5ebfadbd6 py: Compress first part of bytecode prelude.
The start of the bytecode prelude contains 6 numbers telling the amount of
stack needed for the Python values and exceptions, and the signature of the
function.  Prior to this patch these numbers were all encoded one after the
other (2x variable unsigned integers, then 4x bytes), but using so many
bytes is unnecessary.

An entropy analysis of around 150,000 bytecode functions from the CPython
standard library showed that the optimal Shannon coding would need about
7.1 bits on average to encode these 6 numbers, compared to the existing 48
bits.

This patch attempts to get close to this optimal value by packing the 6
numbers into a single, varible-length unsigned integer via bit-wise
interleaving.  The interleaving scheme is chosen to minimise the average
number of bytes needed, and at the same time keep the scheme simple enough
so it can be implemented without too much overhead in code size or speed.
The scheme requires about 10.5 bits on average to store the 6 numbers.

As a result most functions which originally took 6 bytes to encode these 6
numbers now need only 1 byte (in 80% of cases).

Damien George 5716c5cf65 py/persistentcode: Bump .mpy version to 5.
The bytecode opcodes have changed (there are more, and they have been
reordered).
