STM32L476RG MCU of NUCLEO_L476RG board has 6 UART/USART units in total
(USART1, USART2, USART3, UART4, UART5 and LPUART1), but only UART2,
connected to REPL, was defined and available in Python code.
Defined are all 5 remaining UART/USART units including LPUART1.

This patch forces a board to explicitly define TEXT1_ADDR in order to
split the firmware into two separate pieces. Otherwise the default is now
to produce only a single continuous firmware image with all ISR, text and
data together.
This patch allows a particular board to independently specify the linker
scripts for 1) the MCU memory layout; 2) how the different firmware
sections are arranged in memory. Right now all boards follow the same
layout with two separate firmware section, one for the ISR and one for the
text and data. This leaves room for storage (filesystem data) to live
between the firmware sections.
The idea with this patch is to accommodate boards that don't have internal
flash storage and only need to have one continuous firmware section. Thus
the common.ld script is renamed to common_ifs.ld to make explicit that it
is used for cases where the board has internal flash storage.
mpconfigboard_common.h now sets the defaults so there is no longer a need
to explicitly list all configuration options in a board's mpconfigboard.h
file.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
