It differs from upstream's machine in the following ways:
* Python API is identical across ports due to code structure. (Lives in shared-bindings)
* Focuses on abstracting common functionality (AnalogIn) and not representing structure (ADC).
* Documentation lives with code making it easy to ensure they match.
* Pin is split into references (board.D13 and microcontroller.pin.PA17) and functionality (DigitalInOut).
* All nativeio classes claim underlying hardware resources when inited on construction, support Context Managers (aka with statements) and have deinit methods which release the claimed hardware.
* All constructors take pin references rather than peripheral ids. Its up to the implementation to find hardware or throw and exception.
ESP8266 port uses SDK 2.0, has more heap, has support for 512k devices
This release brings some code size reductions to the core as well as
more tests and improved coverage which is now at 94.3%.
The time.ticks_diff(a, b) function has changed: the order of the arguments
has been swapped so that it behaves like "a - b", and it can now return a
negative number if "a" came before "b" (modulo the period of the ticks
functions).
For the ESP8266 port the Espressif SDK has been updated to 2.0.0, the
heap has been increased from 28k to 36k, and there is support for 512k
devices via "make 512k". upip is included by default as frozen bytecode.
The network module now allows access-point reconnection without WiFi
credentials, and exposes configuration for the station DHCP hostname. The
DS18B20 driver now handles negative temperatures, and NeoPixel and APA102
drivers handle 4 bytes-per-pixel LEDs.
For the CC3200 port there is now support for loading of precompiled .mpy
files and threading now works properly with interrupts.
A detailed list of changes follows.

It's mandatory function which should be present in every port. Even if
it's not, in the stdlib intro we waarn users that a particular port can
lack anything of described in the docs.
Clarify the class implements master side of the protocol, also put adhoc
WiPy paramter after the generic, described in the current Hardware API
version.
Conflicts:
README.md - Kept Adafruit README.md intact.
py/emitglue.c - Added xtensa architecture as an OR of the define.
zephyr/README.md - Fixed spelling mistake.
on a per port basis.
Also enables generating docs from inline RST in C code. Simply omits all
lines except those that start with //|. Indentation after "//| " will be
preserved.
The memory read/write I2C functions now take an optional keyword-only
parameter that specifies the number of bits in the memory address.
Only mem-addrs that are a multiple of 8-bits are supported (otherwise
the behaviour is undefined).
Due to the integer type used for the address, for values larger than 32
bits, only 32 bits of address will be sent, and the rest will be padded
with 0s. Right now no exception is raised when that happens. For values
smaller than 8, no address is sent. Also no exception then.
Tested with a VL6180 sensor, which has 16-bit register addresses.
Due to code refactoring, this patch reduces stmhal and esp8266 builds
by about 50 bytes.
machine.POWER_ON is renamed to machine.PWRON_RESET to match other
reset-cause constants that all end in _RESET. The cc3200 port keeps a
legacy definition of POWER_ON for backwards compatibility.
- Refers to the technique of instantiating an object for use in an ISR by
specifying it as a default argument.
- Footnote detailing the fact that interrupt handlers continue to be
executed at the REPL.
