We're moving towards a co-processor model and a Wiznet library is
already available.
New native APIs will replace these for chips with networking like the
ESP32S2 but they won't be these.
The motivation for doing this is so that we can allow
common_hal_mcu_disable_interrupts in IRQ context, something that works
on other ports, but not on nRF with SD enabled. This is because
when SD is enabled, calling sd_softdevice_is_enabled in the context
of an interrupt with priority 2 or 3 causes a HardFault. We have chosen
to give the USB interrupt priority 2 on nRF, the highest priority that
is compatible with SD.
Since at least SoftDevice s130 v2.0.1, sd_nvic_critical_region_enter/exit
have been implemented as inline functions and are safe to call even if
softdevice is not enabled. Reference kindly provided by danh:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/29553/sd_nvic_critical_region_enter-exit-missing-in-s130-v2
Switching to these as the default/only way to enable/disable interrupts
simplifies things, and fixes several problems and potential problems:
* Interrupts at priority 2 or 3 could not call common_hal_mcu_disable_interrupts
because the call to sd_softdevice_is_enabled would HardFault
* Hypothetically, the state of sd_softdevice_is_enabled
could change from the disable to the enable call, meaning the calls
would not match (__disable_irq() could be balanced with
sd_nvic_critical_region_exit).
This also fixes a problem I believe would exist if disable() were called
twice when SD is enabled. There is a single "is_nested_critical_region"
flag, and the second call would set it to 1. Both of the enable()
calls that followed would call critical_region_exit(1), and interrupts
would not properly be reenabled. In the new version of the code,
we use our own nesting_count value to track the intended state, so
now nested disable()s only call critical_region_enter() once, only
updating is_nested_critical_region once; and only the second enable()
call will call critical_region_exit, with the right value of i_n_c_r.
Finally, in port_sleep_until_interrupt, if !sd_enabled, we really do
need to __disable_irq, rather than using the common_hal_mcu routines;
the reason why is documented in a comment.

Testing performed: That a card is successfully mounted on Pygamer with
the built in SD card slot
This module is enabled for most FULL_BUILD boards, but is disabled for
samd21 ("M0"), litex, and pca10100 for various reasons.
* Fix flash writes that don't end on a sector boundary. Fixes#2944
* Fix enum incompatibility with IDF.
* Fix printf output so it goes out debug UART.
* Increase stack size to 8k.
* Fix sleep of less than a tick so it doesn't crash.
This pulls all common functionality into `shared-bindings` and keeps
platform-specific code inside `nrf`. Additionally, this performs most
validation in the `shared-bindings` site.
The only validation that occurs inside platform-specific `common-hal`
code is related to timeout limits that are platform-specific.
Additionally, all documentation is now inside the `shared-bindings`
directory.

As part of the reset process, save the current tick count to an
uninitialized memory location. That way, the current tick value will be
preserved across reboots.
A reboot will cause us to lose a certain number of ticks, depending on
how long a reboot takes, however if reboots are infrequent then this
will not be a large amount of time lost.

For `microcontroller.reset()`, don't manually call NVIC_SystemReset().
Instead, call the `port_reset()` in case the port wants to do any

This finishes the rework of the exception handler, which is once
again stored inside the watchdog timer module.
This also implements a `watchdog_reset()` that is used to disable the
RAISE watchdog, if one is enabled.

This adds an exception to be raised when the WatchDogTimer times out.
Note that this currently causes a HardFault, and it's not clear why it's
not behaving properly.

ARM recommends issuing a DSB instruction propr to issuing WFI, as it is
required on many parts suchas Cortex-M7. This is effectively a no-op on
the Cortex-M4 used in most NRF parts, however it ensures that we won't
be surprised when new parts come out.

In order to ensure we don't have any outstanding requests, disable
interrupts prior to issuing `WFI`.
As part of this process, check to see if there are any pending USB
requests, and only execute the `WFI` if there is no pending data.

On NRF, the `rtc_reset()` function is never called. As a result,
calls to `time.time()` return a cryptic error>
```
>>> import time
>>> time.time()
'' object has no attribute 'datetime'
>>>
```
This is because `MP_STATE_VM(rtc_time_source)` is not initialized
due to `rtc_reset()` never being called.
If `CIRCUITPY_RTC` is enabled, call `rtc_reset()` as part of the
`reset_port()` call. This ensures that `time.time()` works as expected.

Add a field to allow specifying a timeout when initiating advertising.
As part of this, add a new property to determine if the device is still
advertising.
Additionally, have the `anonymous` property require a timeout, and set
the timeout to the maximum possible value if no timeout is specified.

Add a new parameter to the `start_advertising()` function to enable
anonymous advertising. This forces a call to `sd_ble_gap_privacy_set()`

`BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_RESOLVABLE`.

Store the RTC value in the .uninitialized section, but make sure to
flank it with some known values. That way we can determine if the RTC
value has been initialized, or if it's random uninitialized garbage.
As part of this, add a `common_hal_rtc_init()` routine to determine if
the value is correct, or reset it to 0 if it is not valid.

Circuit Python supports saving a single word of data across reboots.
Previously, this data was placed immediately following the .bss.
However, this appeared to not work, as Circuit Python zeroes out the
heap when it starts up, and the heap begins immediately after the .bss.
Switch to using the new .uninitialized section in order to store this
word across resets.

This section immediately follows the .bss section, and is designed to
contain uninitialized variables that should persist across reboots.
The section is placed directly after .bss, under the theory that the
size of Circuit Python's .bss + .data is bigger than the bootloader's
.bss + .data, so there is less likely to be a conflict.
