This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.
This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.
The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).
It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.
For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:

This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).
The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):

In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.
See #7680 for further discussion. And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

This achieves a substantial performance improvement when rendering glyphs
to color displays, the benefit increasing proportional to the number of
pixels in the glyph.
This allows the write to trigger a notification or indication, but only to
subscribed clients. This is different to gatts_notify/gatts_indicate,
which will unconditionally notify/indicate.

Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency.
The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this
commit intends to help clear that up. As a first approximation MicroPython
is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same
name, to a first approximation. The u-version of a module is a detail that
can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have
finer control over importing.
Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that
within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython
documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code.
With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users
can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of
the minimal ports). And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py"
continues to work well.

Optionally enabled via MICROPY_PY_UJSON_SEPARATORS. Enabled by default.
For dump, make sure mp_get_stream_raise is called after
mod_ujson_separators since CPython does it in this order (if both
separators and stream are invalid, separators will raise an exception
first).
Add separators argument in the docs as well.

This enables optional support for the hardware UART to use the RTS and/or
CTS pins for flow control.
The new "flow" constructor keyword specifies a bitmask of RTS and/or CTS.
This matches the interface used by machine.UART on stm32 and rp2.
Previously on ESP32 it was possible to specify which pins to use for the
RTS and CTS signals, but hardware flow control was never functional: CTS
was not checked before transmitting bytes, and RTS was always driven high
(signalling no buffer space available). With this patch, CTS and RTS both
operate as expected.
This also includes an update to the machine.UART documentation.

For some boards, even -fm dio is too fast and they require -fm dout. This
commit links to the esptool wiki about available flash modes and changes
dio to dout.
This commit adds I2S protocol support for the esp32 and stm32 ports, via
a new machine.I2S class. It builds on the stm32 work of blmorris, #1361.
Features include:
- a consistent I2S API across the esp32 and stm32 ports
- I2S configurations supported:
- master transmit and master receive
- 16-bit and 32-bit sample sizes
- mono and stereo formats
- sampling frequency
- 3 modes of operation:
- blocking
- non-blocking with callback
- uasyncio
- internal ring buffer size can be tuned
- documentation for Pyboards and esp32-based boards
- tested on the following development boards:
- Pyboard D SF2W
- Pyboard V1.1
- ESP32 with SPIRAM
- ESP32

Add new API for specifying the idle level and TX carrier output level, and
new write_pulses modes of operation. Also fix wait_done documentation
which was inverted and wrong about timing.
The RTC in rp2 can store any, even wrong, number as a weekday in RTC. It
was, however, discussed in #7394 that we would like to unify all ports and
use 0 as Monday, not Sunday in the machine.RTC implementation.
This patch makes sure that the default date set in RTC is adheres to this
convention. It also fixes the example in quickref to use proper weekday to
avoid confusion.
