This commit makes the low-level flash C functions usable by code other than
flashbdev.c (eg by mboot). Changes in this commit are:
- flash_erase() and flash_write() now return an errno error code, a
negative value on error.
- flash_erase() now automatically locks the flash, as well as unlocking it.
- flash_write() now automatically unlocks the flash, as well as locking it.
- flashbdev.c is modified for the above changes.

This new series of MCUs is similar to the L4 series with an additional
Cortex-M0 coprocessor. The firmware for the wireless stack must be managed
separately and MicroPython does not currently interface to it. Supported
features so far include: RTC, UART, USB, internal flash filesystem.
The CMSIS files for the STM32 range provide macros to distinguish between
the different MCU series: STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32L4, etc. Prefer
to use these instead of custom ones.
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.
