Prior to this commit, even with unicode disabled .py and .mpy files could
contain unicode characters, eg by entering them directly in a string as
utf-8 encoded.
The only thing the compiler disallowed (with unicode disabled) was using
\uxxxx and \Uxxxxxxxx notation to specify a character within a string with
value >= 0x100; that would give a SyntaxError.
With this change mpy-cross will now accept \u and \U notation to insert a
character with value >= 0x100 into a string (because the -mno-unicode
option is now gone, there's no way to forbid this). The runtime will
happily work with strings with such characters, just like it already works
with strings with characters that were utf-8 encoded directly.
This change simplifies things because there are no longer any feature
flags in .mpy files, and any bytecode .mpy will now run on any target.

This double-raise test could fail when task[0] raises and stops the gather
before task[1] raises, then task[1] is left to raise later on and spoil the

This commit adds support to the parser so that tuples which contain only
constant elements (bool, int, str, bytes, etc) are immediately converted to
a tuple object. This makes it more efficient to use tuples containing
constant data because they no longer need to be created at runtime by the
bytecode (or native code).
Furthermore, with this improvement constant tuples that are part of frozen
code are now able to be stored fully in ROM (this will be implemented in
later commits).
Code size is increased by about 400 bytes on Cortex-M4 platforms.

This follows the CPython change: https://bugs.python.org/issue21455
Socket listen backlog defaults to 2 if not given, based on most bare metal
targets not having many resources for a large backlog. On UNIX it defaults
to SOMAXCONN or 128, whichever is less.
There were two issues with the existing code:
1. "1 << i" is computed as a 32-bit number so would overflow when
executed on 64-bit machines (when mp_uint_t is 64-bit). This meant that
*args beyond 32 positions would not be handled correctly.
2. star_args must fit as a positive small int so that it is encoded
correctly in the emitted code. MP_SMALL_INT_BITS is too big because it
overflows a small int by 1 bit. MP_SMALL_INT_BITS - 1 does not work
because it produces a signed small int which is then sign extended when
extracted (even by mp_obj_get_int_truncated), and this sign extension
means that any position arg after *args is also treated as a star-arg.
So the maximum bit position is MP_SMALL_INT_BITS - 2. This means that
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE() can be used instead of
mp_obj_get_int_truncated() to get the value of star_args.
These issues are fixed by this commit, and a test added.

This fixes code coverage for the case where a *arg without __len__ is
unpacked and uses exactly the amount of memory that was allocated for
kw args. This triggers the code branch where the memory for the kw args
gets reallocated since it was used already by the *arg unpacking.

This is a partial implementation of PEP 448 to allow unpacking multiple
star args in a function or method call.
This is implemented by changing the emitted bytecodes so that both
positional args and star args are stored as positional args. A bitmap is
added to indicate if an argument at a given position is a positional
argument or a star arg.
In the generated code, this new bitmap takes the place of the old star arg.
It is stored as a small int, so this means only the first N arguments can
be star args where N is the number of bits in a small int.
The runtime is modified to interpret this new bytecode format while still
trying to perform as few memory reallocations as possible.

This is a partial implementation of PEP 448 to allow multiple ** unpackings
when calling a function or method.
The compiler is modified to encode the argument as a None: obj key-value
pair (similar to how regular keyword arguments are encoded as str: obj
pairs). The extra object that was pushed on the stack to hold a single **
unpacking object is no longer used and is removed.
The runtime is modified to decode this new format.

The following fixes are made:
- cancelling a gather now cancels all sub-tasks of the gather (previously
it would only cancel the first)
- if any sub-task of a gather raises an exception then the gather finishes
(previously it would only finish if the first sub-task raised)

This commit introduces changes:
- All jump opcodes are changed to have variable length arguments, of either
1 or 2 bytes (previously they were fixed at 2 bytes). In most cases only
1 byte is needed to encode the short jump offset, saving bytecode size.
- The bytecode emitter now selects 1 byte jump arguments when the jump
offset is guaranteed to fit in 1 byte. This is achieved by checking if
the code size changed during the last pass and, if it did (if it shrank),
then requesting that the compiler make another pass to get the correct
offsets of the now-smaller code. This can continue multiple times until
the code stabilises. The code can only ever shrink so this iteration is
guaranteed to complete. In most cases no extra passes are needed, the
original 4 passes are enough to get it right by the 4th pass (because the
2nd pass computes roughly the correct labels and the 3rd pass computes
the correct size for the jump argument).
This change to the jump opcode encoding reduces .mpy files and RAM usage
(when bytecode is in RAM) by about 2% on average.
The performance of the VM is not impacted, at least within measurment of
the performance benchmark suite.
Code size is reduced for builds that include a decent amount of frozen
bytecode. ARM Cortex-M builds without any frozen code increase by about
350 bytes.

Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing. They are also
smaller on disk.
But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware. This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device. These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM. This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).
The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware. This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).
This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware. The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place. If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.
With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).
The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded. Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time. This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory. Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).
In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):
qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;
is now (schematically):
idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
qst = qstr_table[idx];
That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values. Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.
Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.
The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before
The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance. For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.
In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place. Performance is not impacted too much. Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM. This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

Some versions of Python (for instance: the mingw-w64 version which can be
installed on MSYS2) do include a pty module and claim to be posix-like
(os.name == 'posix'), yet the select.select call used in run-tests.py hangs
forever. To be on the safe side just exclude anything which might be
running on windows.
A script will print "SKIP" if it wants to be skipped, so the test runner
must also use uppercase SKIP.
