py/makeqstrdefs.py declares that it works with python 2.6 however the
syntax used to initialise of a set with values was only added in python
2.7. This leads to build failures when the host system doesn't have
python 2.7 or newer.
Instead of using the new syntax pass a list of initial values through
set() to achieve the same result. This should work for python versions
from at least 2.6 onwards.

That's arbitrary restriction, in case of embedding, a source file path may
be absolute. For the purpose of filtering out system includes, checking
for ".c" suffix is enough.
- msvc preprocessor output contains full paths with backslashes so the
':' and '\' characters needs to be erased from the paths as well
- use a regex for extraction of filenames from preprocessor output so it
can handle both gcc and msvc preprocessor output, and spaces in paths
(also thanks to a PR from @travnicekivo for part of that regex)
- os.rename will fail on windows if the destination file already exists,
so simply attempt to delete that file first
E.g. for stmhal, accumulated preprocessed output may grow large due to
bloated vendor headers, and then reprocessing tens of megabytes on each
build make take couple of seconds on fast hardware (=> potentially dozens
of seconds on slow hardware). So instead, split once after each change,
and only cat repetitively (guaranteed to be fast, as there're thousands
of lines involved at most).
When there're C files to be (re)compiled, they're all passed first to
preprocessor. QSTR references are extracted from preprocessed output and
split per original C file. Then all available qstr files (including those
generated previously) are catenated together. Only if the resulting content
has changed, the output file is written (causing almost global rebuild
to pick up potentially renumbered qstr's). Otherwise, it's not updated
to not cause spurious rebuilds. Related make rules are split to minimize
amount of commands executed in the interim case (when some C files were
updated, but no qstrs were changed).
This script will search for patterns of the form Q(...) and generate a
list of them.
The original code by Pavel Moravec has been significantly simplified to
remove the part that searched for C preprocessor directives (eg #if).
This is because all source is now run through CPP before being fed into
this script.
