Qstr's are now split into a linked-list of qstr pools. This has 2
benefits: the first pool can be in ROM (huge benefit, since we no longer
use RAM for the core qstrs), and subsequent pools use m_new for the next
pool instead of m_renew (thus avoiding a huge single table for all the
qstrs).
Still would be better to use a hash table, but this scheme takes us part
of the way (eventually convert the pools to hash tables).
Also fixed bug with import.
Also improved the way the module code is referenced (not magic number 1
anymore).
With MICROPY_EMIT_X64 and MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB disabled, the respective
emitters and assemblers will not be included in the code. This can
significantly reduce binary size for unix version.
E.g.:
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetnum'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgoto'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetflag'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetent'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetstr'
Tested on linux too, works.
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.
Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
