The intent is to allow us to make breaking changes to the native ABI (e.g.
changes to dynruntime.h) without needing the bytecode version to increment.
With this commit the two bits previously used for the feature flags (but
now unused as of .mpy version 6) encode a sub-version. A bytecode-only
.mpy file can be loaded as long as MPY_VERSION matches, but a native .mpy
(i.e. one with an arch set) must also match MPY_SUB_VERSION. This allows 3
additional updates to the native ABI per bytecode revision.
The sub-version is set to 1 because the previous commits that changed the
layout of mp_obj_type_t have changed the native ABI.

Support for architecture-specific qstr linking was removed in
d4d53e9e11, where native code was changed to
access qstr values via qstr_table. The only remaining use for the special
qstr link table in persistentcode.c is to support native module written in
C, linked via mpy_ld.py. But native modules can also use the standard
module-level qstr_table (and obj_table) which was introduced in the .mpy
file reworking in f2040bfc7e.
This commit removes the remaining native qstr liking support in
persistentcode.c's load_raw_code function, and adds two new relocation
options for constants.qstr_table and constants.obj_table. mpy_ld.py is
updated to use these relocations options instead of the native qstr link
table.
