any qstr of >= 3 chars long is a candidate for use; the input byte value
(1) is used to indicate a fixed-length qstr number follows.
Before accounting for the code size changes, this saves ~100 bytes
on trinket m0, but it may end up being a wash due to added code.
A cutoff of length>2 is slightly better for ja and ru and worse for others.
This has to do with the relative frequency of latin characters vs non-latin
characters, is my guess.
lang after before change (- = more free space)

* Enable dcache for OCRAM where the VM heap lives.
* Add CIRCUITPY_SWO_TRACE for pushing program counters out over the
SWO pin via the ITM module in the CPU. Exempt some functions from
instrumentation to reduce traffic and allow inlining.
* Place more functions in ITCM to handle errors using code in RAM-only
and speed up CP.
* Use SET and CLEAR registers for digitalio. The SDK does read, mask
and write.
* Switch to 2MiB reserved for CircuitPython code. Up from 1MiB.
* Run USB interrupts during flash erase and write.
* Allow storage writes from CP if the USB drive is disabled.
* Get perf bench tests running on CircuitPython and increase timeouts
so it works when instrumentation is active.
This adds support for CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID and CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD
in `/.env`. When both are defined, CircuitPython will attempt to
connect to the network even when user code isn't running. If the
user code attempts to a network with the same SSID, it will return
immediately. Connecting to another SSID will disconnect from the
auto-connected network. If the user code initiates the connection,
then it will be shutdown after user code exits. (Should match <8
behavior.)
This PR also reworks the default displayio terminal. It now supports
a title bar TileGrid in addition to the (newly renamed) scroll area.
The default title bar is the top row of the display and is positioned
to the right of the Blinka logo when it is enabled. The scroll area
is now below the Blinka logo.
The Wi-Fi auto-connect code now uses the title bar to show its
state including the IP address when connected. It does this through
the "standard" OSC control sequence `ESC ] 0 ; <s> ESC \` where <s>
is the title bar string. This is commonly supported by terminals
so it should work over USB and UART as well.

This breaks the translation dependency to all of the other objects
and therefore speeds up subsequent builds. Now, even when the big
translate() function is inlined in the header, it only needs to be
optimized once.
