`pow(a, b, c)` can compute `(a ** b) % c` efficiently (in time and memory).
This can be useful for extremely specific applications, like implementing
the RSA cryptosystem. For typical uses of CircuitPython, this is not an
important feature. A survey of the bundle and learn system didn't find
any uses.
Disable it on M0 builds so that we can fit in needed upgrades to the USB
stack.
This adds the `async def` and `await` verbs to valid CircuitPython syntax using the Micropython implementation.
Consider:
```
>>> class Awaitable:
... def __iter__(self):
... for i in range(3):
... print('awaiting', i)
... yield
... return 42
...
>>> async def wait_for_it():
... a = Awaitable()
... result = await a
... return result
...
>>> task = wait_for_it()
>>> next(task)
awaiting 0
>>> next(task)
awaiting 1
>>> next(task)
awaiting 2
>>> next(task)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
StopIteration: 42
>>>
```
and more excitingly:
```
>>> async def it_awaits_a_subtask():
... value = await wait_for_it()
... print('twice as good', value * 2)
...
>>> task = it_awaits_a_subtask()
>>> next(task)
awaiting 0
>>> next(task)
awaiting 1
>>> next(task)
awaiting 2
>>> next(task)
twice as good 84
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
StopIteration:
```
Note that this is just syntax plumbing, not an all-encompassing implementation of an asynchronous task scheduler or asynchronous hardware apis.
uasyncio might be a good module to bring in, or something else - but the standard Python syntax does not _strictly require_ deeper hardware
support.
Micropython implements the await verb via the __iter__ function rather than __await__. It's okay.
The syntax being present will enable users to write clean and expressive multi-step state machines that are written serially and interleaved
according to the rules provided by those users.
Given that this does not include an all-encompassing C scheduler, this is expected to be an advanced functionality until the community settles
on the future of deep hardware support for async/await in CircuitPython. Users will implement yield-based schedulers and tasks wrapping
synchronous hardware APIs with polling to avoid blocking, while their application business logic gets simple `await` statements.
Tested & working:
* Send standard packets
* Receive standard packets (1 FIFO, no filter)
Interoperation between SAM E54 Xplained running this tree and
MicroPython running on STM32F405 Feather with an external
transceiver was also tested.
Many other aspects of a full implementation are not yet present,
such as error detection and recovery.
The font is missing many characters and the build needs the space.
We can optimize font storage when we get a good font.
The serial output will work as usual.
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.
vectorio builds on m4 express feather
Concrete shapes are composed into a VectorShape which is put into a displayio Group for display.
VectorShape provides transpose and x/y positioning for shape implementations.
Included Shapes:
* Circle
- A radius; Circle is positioned at its axis in the VectorShape.
- You can freely modify the radius to grow and shrink the circle in-place.
* Polygon
- An ordered list of points.
- Beteween each successive point an edge is inferred. A final edge closing the shape is inferred between the last
point and the first point.
- You can modify the points in a Polygon. The points' coordinate system is relative to (0, 0) so if you'd like a
top-center justified 10x20 rectangle you can do points [(-5, 0), (5, 0), (5, 20), (0, 20)] and your VectorShape
x and y properties will position the rectangle relative to its top center point
* Rectangle
A width and a height.
This adds initial support for an AES module named aesio. This
implementation supports only a subset of AES modes, namely
ECB, CBC, and CTR modes.
Example usage:
```
>>> import aesio
>>>
>>> key = b'Sixteen byte key'
>>> cipher = aesio.AES(key, aesio.MODE_ECB)
>>> output = bytearray(16)
>>> cipher.encrypt_into(b'Circuit Python!!', output)
>>> output
bytearray(b'E\x14\x85\x18\x9a\x9c\r\x95>\xa7kV\xa2`\x8b\n')
>>>
```
This key is 16-bytes, so it uses AES128. If your key is 24- or 32-
bytes long, it will switch to AES192 or AES256 respectively.
This has been tested with many of the official NIST test vectors,
such as those used in `pycryptodome` at
39626a5b01/lib/Crypto/SelfTest/Cipher/test_vectors/AES
CTR has not been tested as NIST does not provide test vectors for it.

This gets all the purely internal references. Some uses of
protomatter/Protomatter/PROTOMATTER remain, as they are references
to symbols in the Protomatter C library itself.
Testing performed: That the shipped .mpy files on a PyPortal (CP 4.x)
still work (play audio) with this branch, instead of erroring because
`WaveFile` can't be found in `audioio`.
Flash usage grew by 28 bytes. (I expected 24, there must be some other
effect on size/alignment that I didn't predict)
When nrf pwm audio is introduced, it will be called `audiopwmio`. To
enable code sharing with the existing (dac-based) `audioio`, factor
the sample and mixer types to `audiocore`.
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Now, `Mixer`, `RawSample` and `WaveFile` must
be imported from `audiocore`, not `audioio`.
