David Lechner c012318d74 unix: Implement `-X realtime` command-line option on macOS.
This adds a new command line option to the unix port `-X realtime` to
enable realtime priority on threads.  This enables high precision timers
for applications that need more accurate timers.

Jim Mussared c2cfbcc8d4 unix: Implement MICROPY_BEGIN/END_ATOMIC_SECTION protection macros.
This macro is used to implement global serialisation, typically by
disabling IRQs.  On the unix port, if threading is enabled, use the
existing thread mutex (that protects the thread list structure) for this
purpose.  Other places in the code (eg the scheduler) assume this macro
will provide serialisation.

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.
