The previous computation incorrectly assumed that the uint32_t ticks
counter MICROPY_SOFT_TIMER_TICKS_MS was in the range [0,0x80000000) where
its actually [0,0xffffffff]. This means the diff calculation can be
simplified compared to the original implementation copied from
utime_mphal.c, which has to deal with a ticks range constrained by the
small int range.

Before, both uwTick and mp_hal_ticks_ms() were used as clock source. That
assumes, that these two are synchronous and start with the same value,
which may be not the case for all ports. If the lag between uwTick and
mp_hal_ticks_ms() is larger than the timer interval, the timer would either
rush up until the times are synchronous, or not start until uwTick wraps
over.
As suggested by @dpgeorge, MICROPY_SOFT_TIMER_TICKS_MS is now used in
softtimer.c, which has to be defined in a port's mpconfigport.h with
the variable that holds the SysTick counter.
Note that it's not possible to switch everything in softtimer.c to use
mp_hal_ticks_ms() because the logic in SysTick_Handler that schedules
soft_timer_handler() uses (eg on mimxrt) the uwTick variable directly
(named systick_ms there), and mp_hal_ticks_ms() uses a different source
timer. Thus it is made fully configurable.
This drops the `.cpu` directive from the ARM gchelper_*.s files. Having
this directive breaks the linker when targeting older CPUs (e.g. `-mthumb
-mthumb-interwork` for `-mcpu=arm7tdmi`). The actual target CPU should be
determined by the compiler options.
The exact CPU doesn't actually matter, but rather the supported assembly
instruction set. So the files are renamed to *_thumb1.s and *thumb2.s to
indicate the instruction set support instead of the CPU support.

Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.
Signed-off-by: Jim Mussared <jim.mussared@gmail.com>
The goal here is to remove a slot (making way to turn make_new into a slot)
as well as reduce code size by the ~40 references to mp_identity_getiter
and mp_stream_unbuffered_iter.
This introduces two new type flags:
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_ITERNEXT: This means that the "iter" slot in the
type is "iternext", and should use the identity getiter.
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_CUSTOM: This means that the "iter" slot is a pointer
to a mp_getiter_iternext_custom_t instance, which then defines both
getiter and iternext.
And a third flag that is the OR of both, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_STREAM: This
means that the type should use the identity getiter, and
mp_stream_unbuffered_iter as iternext.
Finally, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_GETITER is defined as a no-op flag to give
the default case where "iter" is "getiter".

stdio_obj_print is private to this file so can be made static. The __del__
method does nothing so can be removed (it's only called by the GC if it
exists, so if it doesn't exist it won't be called). And FileIO doesn't
support a constructor in MicroPython at this stage.

allowed according to CPython docs, and is what PyPy does. The docs state:
A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus
additional information on the build number and compiler used.

This helps to keep code size under control because the string can be reused

Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing. They are also
smaller on disk.
But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware. This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device. These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM. This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).
The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware. This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).
This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware. The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place. If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.
With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).
The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded. Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time. This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory. Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).
In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):
qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;
is now (schematically):
idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
qst = qstr_table[idx];
That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values. Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.
Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.
The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before
The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance. For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit
is:

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.
In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place. Performance is not impacted too much. Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM. This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

This changes makemanifest.py & mpy-tool.py to merge string and mpy names
into the same list (now mp_frozen_names).
The various paths for loading a frozen module (mp_find_frozen_module) and
checking existence of a frozen module (mp_frozen_stat) use a common
function that searches this list.
In addition, the frozen lookup will now only take place if the path starts
with ".frozen", which needs to be added to sys.path.
