Damien George d2384efa80 py: Automatically provide weak links from "foo" to "ufoo" module name.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found.  This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo".  Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.

It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.

Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
  which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
  (namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
  this reduces duplication in the help listing.

Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last.  So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists.  Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".

See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.

Damien George 47e551ba59 cc3200/mpconfigport.h: Disable compiler optimisation of OrderedDict.
This port would rather keep the code size as RAM.

Damien George f35aae366c extmod/vfs_fat: Rename FileIO/TextIO types to mp_type_vfs_fat_XXX.
So they don't clash with other VFS implementations.

Damien George 01dd7804b8 ports: Make new ports/ sub-directory and move all ports there.
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.
