In order to keep "import umodule" working, the existing mechanism is
replaced with a simple fallback to drop the "u".
This makes importing of built-ins no longer touch the filesystem, which
makes a typical built-in import take ~0.15ms rather than 3-5ms.

This uses MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER() to register the readline_history root
pointer array used by shared/readline.c and removes the registration from
all mpconfigport.h files.
This also required adding a new MICROPY_READLINE_HISTORY_SIZE config option
since not all ports used the same sized array.

This separates extmod source files from `py.mk`. Previously, `py.mk`
assumed that every consumer of the py/ directory also wanted to include
extmod/. However, this is not the case. For example, building mpy-cross
uses py/ but doesn't need extmod/.
This commit moves all extmod-specific items from `py.mk` to `extmod.mk` and
explicitly includes `extmod.mk` in ports that use it.

It's no longer needed because this macro is now processed after
preprocessing the source code via cpp (in the qstr extraction stage), which
means unused MP_REGISTER_MODULE's are filtered out by the preprocessor.

If MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_ARGV_DEFAULTS is enabled (which it is by default)
then sys.path and sys.argv will be initialised and populated with default
values. This keeps all bare-metal ports aligned.

Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency.
The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this
commit intends to help clear that up. As a first approximation MicroPython
is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same
name, to a first approximation. The u-version of a module is a detail that
can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have
finer control over importing.
Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that
within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython
documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code.
With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users
can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of
the minimal ports). And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py"
continues to work well.

This commit adds many new sections to the existing "Developing and building
MicroPython" chapter to make it all about the internals of MicroPython.
This work was done as part of Google's Season of Docs 2020.
