Damien George d2384efa80 py: Automatically provide weak links from "foo" to "ufoo" module name.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found.  This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo".  Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.

It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.

Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
  which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
  (namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
  this reduces duplication in the help listing.

Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last.  So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists.  Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".

See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.

stijn af5c998f37 py/modmath: Implement math.isclose() for non-complex numbers.
As per PEP 485, this function appeared in for Python 3.5.  Configured via
MICROPY_PY_MATH_ISCLOSE which is disabled by default, but enabled for the
ports which already have MICROPY_PY_MATH_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS enabled.

Rami Ali 7d675f3a17 javascript: Add new port targeting JavaScript via Emscripten.
In this port JavaScript is the underlying "machine" and MicroPython is
transmuted into JavaScript by Emscripten.  MicroPython can then run under
Node.js or in the browser.
