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.

This fixes commit a99f9427420d("'/' and '\' are also acceptable ends of the path now") which broke mkdir.
The problem is where the directory name is a single letter like this:
>>> os.mkdir('a')
>>> os.mkdir('a/b')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists
>>> os.mkdir('a/bb')
>>>
I wasn't smart enough to fix this in the oofatfs library, so I did it in the os shared module by
creating a path lookup function for the os methods that only deals with directories. I reverted
the library change introduced by the aforementioned commit.
This means that os.stat and os.rename can't handle trailing slashes. This is to avoid allowing
filenames with trailing slashes to pass through. In order to handle trailing slashes for these
it would be necessary to check if it really is a directory before stripping. I didn't do this
since the original issue was to make os.chdir tolerate trailing slashes.
There's an open MicroPython issue #2929 wrt. trailing slashes and mkdir.
This started while adding USB MIDI support (and descriptor support is
in this change.) When seeing that I'd have to implement the MIDI class
logic twice, once for atmel-samd and once for nrf, I decided to refactor
the USB stack so its shared across ports. This has led to a number of
changes that remove items from the ports folder and move them into
supervisor.
Furthermore, we had external SPI flash support for nrf pending so I
factored out the connection between the usb stack and the flash API as
well. This PR also includes the QSPI support for nRF.
Commit 95e70cd0ea 'time: Use 1970 epoch' changed epoch for the time
module, but not for other users. This patch does the same for the only
other core timeutils user: extmod/vfs_fat.c:fat_vfs_stat().
Other timeutils users: cc3200, esp8266 and stm32, are not changed.
Ports that don't use long ints, will still get wrong time values from
os.stat().
