This simplifies allocating outside of the VM because the VM doesn't
take up all remaining memory by default.
On ESP we delegate to the IDF for allocations. For all other ports,
we use TLSF to manage an outer "port" heap. The IDF uses TLSF
internally and we use their fork for the other ports.
This also removes the dynamic C stack sizing. It wasn't often used
and is not possible with a fixed outer heap.
Fixes#8512. Fixes#7334.
This lets the BLE stack run through the wait period after a VM run
when it may be waiting for more writes due to an auto-reload.
User BLE functionality will have their events stopped. Scanning and
advertising is also stopped.
nRF CircuitPython boards will now provide the file transfer
service defined here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BLE_File_Transfer
USB capable boards will only advertise if previously bonded to a
device or if the reset button is pressed during the fast blue
flashes on start up. When pressed, the board will restart again but
the blue period will not flash.
Boards without USB will always advertise.
When previously bonded, the advertisement is private so that no
other peers can connect. If advertising publicly, the tx power is
lowered to reduce the likelihood of bonding from a distance.
This PR also fixes issues with loading identities of bonded peers
so that our address can now be resolved and we can resolve others'
addresses when scanning.
Unify USB-related makefile var and C def as CIRCUITPY_USB.
Always define it as 0 or 1, same as all other settings.
USB_AVAILABLE was conditionally defined in supervisor.mk,
but never actually used to #ifdef USB-related code.
Loosely related to #4546
The timeout value is calculated by the common-hal layer now, so we don't
need to be quite so clever about calculating it here.

This was not added as part of the initial v7.0.1 patchset because
.hex files are in this project's .gitignore, and so git ignored it.

PacketBuffer facilitates packet oriented BLE protocols such as BLE
MIDI and the Apple Media Service.
This also adds PHY, MTU and connection event extension negotiation
to speed up data transfer when possible.
This PR refines the _bleio API. It was originally motivated by
the addition of a new CircuitPython service that enables reading
and modifying files on the device. Moving the BLE lifecycle outside
of the VM motivated a number of changes to remove heap allocations
in some APIs.
It also motivated unifying connection initiation to the Adapter class
rather than the Central and Peripheral classes which have been removed.
Adapter now handles the GAP portion of BLE including advertising, which
has moved but is largely unchanged, and scanning, which has been enhanced
to return an iterator of filtered results.
Once a connection is created (either by us (aka Central) or a remote
device (aka Peripheral)) it is represented by a new Connection class.
This class knows the current connection state and can discover and
instantiate remote Services along with their Characteristics and
Descriptors.
