The goal here is to remove a slot (making way to turn make_new into a slot)
as well as reduce code size by the ~40 references to mp_identity_getiter
and mp_stream_unbuffered_iter.
This introduces two new type flags:
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_ITERNEXT: This means that the "iter" slot in the
type is "iternext", and should use the identity getiter.
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_CUSTOM: This means that the "iter" slot is a pointer
to a mp_getiter_iternext_custom_t instance, which then defines both
getiter and iternext.
And a third flag that is the OR of both, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_STREAM: This
means that the type should use the identity getiter, and
mp_stream_unbuffered_iter as iternext.
Finally, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_GETITER is defined as a no-op flag to give
the default case where "iter" is "getiter".

This will always have the maximum/minimum size of a mp_obj_type_t
representation and can be used as a member in other structs.

For ports that have a system malloc which is not garbage collected (eg
unix, esp32), the stream object for the DB must be retained separately to
prevent it from being reclaimed by the MicroPython GC (because the
berkeley-db library uses malloc to allocate the DB structure which stores
the only reference to the stream).
Although in some cases the user code will explicitly retain a reference to
the underlying stream because it needs to call close() on it, this is not
always the case, eg in cases where the DB is intended to live forever.
Fixes issue #5940.
