Damien George f7ddc94166 py/asmxtensa: Add support for Xtensa with windowed registers.
Window-specific asm emit functions are added, along with a new macro option
GENERIC_ASM_API_WIN.

Damien George 1396a026be py: Add support to save native, viper and asm code to .mpy files.
This commit adds support for saving and loading .mpy files that contain
native code (native, viper and inline-asm).  A lot of the ground work was
already done for this in the form of removing pointers from generated
native code.  The changes here are mainly to link in qstr values to the
native code, and change the format of .mpy files to contain native code
blocks (possibly mixed with bytecode).

A top-level summary:

- @micropython.native, @micropython.viper and @micropython.asm_thumb/
  asm_xtensa are now allowed in .py files when compiling to .mpy, and they
  work transparently to the user.

- Entire .py files can be compiled to native via mpy-cross -X emit=native
  and for the most part the generated .mpy files should work the same as
  their bytecode version.

- The .mpy file format is changed to 1) specify in the header if the file
  contains native code and if so the architecture (eg x86, ARMV7M, Xtensa);
  2) for each function block the kind of code is specified (bytecode,
  native, viper, asm).

- When native code is loaded from a .mpy file the native code must be
  modified (in place) to link qstr values in, just like bytecode (see
  py/persistentcode.c:arch_link_qstr() function).

In addition, this now defines a public, native ABI for dynamically loadable
native code generated by other languages, like C.

Damien George 006671056d py/emitnative: Load native fun table ptr from const table for all archs.
All architectures now have a dedicated register to hold the pointer to the
native function table mp_fun_table, and so they all need to load this
register at the start of the native function.  This commit makes the
loading of this register uniform across architectures by passing the
pointer in the constant table for the native function, and then loading the
register from the constant table.  Doing it this way means that the pointer
is not stored in the assembly code, helping to make the code more portable.

Damien George 2e86233263 py/asm*: Remove ASM_MOV_REG_ALIGNED_IMM emit macro, it's no longer used.
After the previous commit this macro is no longer needed by the native
emitter because live heap pointers are no longer stored in generated native
machine code.

Damien George 30a45360e7 py/asmxtensa: Make indirect calls using func table, not raw pointers.
Loading a pointer by indexing into the native function table mp_fun_table,
rather than loading an immediate value (via a PC-relative load), uses less
code space.

Damien George 2964b41c28 py/asm*: Support assembling code to jump to a register, and get PC+off.
Useful for position independent code, and implementing state machines.

Damien George 10830059c5 py/emitnative: Fix x86 native zero checks by comparing full word.
On x86 archs (both 32 and 64 bit) a bool return value only sets the 8-bit
al register, and the higher bits of the ax register have an undefined
value.  When testing the return value of such cases it is required to just
test al for zero/non-zero.  On the other hand, checking for truth or
zero/non-zero on an integer return value requires checking all bits of the
register.  These two cases must be distinguished and handled correctly in
generated native code.  This patch makes sure of this.

For other supported native archs (ARM, Thumb2, Xtensa) there is no such
distinction and this patch does not change anything for them.

Damien George 564a95cb04 py/emitnative: Clean up asm macro names so they have dest as first arg.
All the asm macro names that convert a particular architecture to a generic
interface now follow the convention whereby the "destination" (usually a
register) is specified first.

Damien George a25aa2bcc3 py/asmxtensa.h: Explicitly cast args to 32-bits so left-shift is legal.
For archs that have 16-bit pointers, the asmxtensa.h file can give compiler
warnings about left-shift being greater than the width of the type (due to
the inline functions in this header file).  Explicitly casting the
constants to uint32_t stops these warnings.
