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.

In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
This is an object-oriented approach, where uos is only a proxy for the
methods on the vfs object. Some internals had to be exposed (the STATIC
keyword removed) for this to work.
Fixes#2338.
This implements OO interface based on existing fsusermount code and with
minimal changes to it, to serve as a proof of concept of OO interface.
Examle of usage:
bdev = RAMFS(48)
uos.VfsFat.mkfs(bdev)
vfs = uos.VfsFat(bdev, "/ramdisk")
f = vfs.open("foo", "w")
f.write("hello!")
f.close()
This patch adds support to fsusermount for multiple block devices
(instead of just one). The maximum allowed is fixed at compile time by
the size of the fs_user_mount array accessed via MP_STATE_PORT, which
in turn is set by MICROPY_FATFS_VOLUMES.
With this patch, stmhal (which is still tightly coupled to fsusermount)
is also modified to support mounting multiple devices And the flash and
SD card are now just two block devices that are mounted at start up if
they exist (and they have special native code to make them more
efficient).
The new block protocol is:
- readblocks(self, n, buf)
- writeblocks(self, n, buf)
- ioctl(self, cmd, arg)
The new ioctl method handles the old sync and count methods, as well as
a new "get sector size" method.
The old protocol is still supported, and used if the device doesn't have
the ioctl method.
Per the previously discussed plan. mount() still stays backward-compatible,
and new mkfs() is rought and takes more args than needed. But is a step
in a forward direction.
