0bbe4de527 stmhal: Update help text.
Remove reference to pyb.gc; add reference to pyb.millis.

There are lots of functions not listed when you run help(), but it would
be too much to list them all, so we list only some basic, useful ones.

Addresses issue #846.

3c658a4e75 py: Fix bug where GC collected native/viper/asm function data.
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC.  This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.

Addresses issue #820.

04b9147e15 Add license header to (almost) all files.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files.  Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.

Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.

8b0535e23f py: Change module globals from mp_map_t* to mp_obj_dict_t*.
Towards addressing issue #424.

Had a small increase to ROM usage (order 60 bytes).

df6567e634 Merge map.h into obj.h.
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation.  Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead.  map.h is removed.

9b196cddab Remove mp_obj_type_t.methods entry and use .locals_dict instead.
Originally, .methods was used for methods in a ROM class, and
locals_dict for methods in a user-created class.  That distinction is
unnecessary, and we can use locals_dict for ROM classes now that we have
ROMable maps.

This removes an entry in the bloated mp_obj_type_t struct, saving a word
for each ROM object and each RAM object.  ROM objects that have a
methods table (now a locals_dict) need an extra word in total (removed
the methods pointer (1 word), no longer need the sentinel (2 words), but
now need an mp_obj_dict_t wrapper (4 words)).  But RAM objects save a
word because they never used the methods entry.

Overall the ROM usage is down by a few hundred bytes, and RAM usage is
down 1 word per user-defined type/class.

There is less code (no need to check 2 tables), and now consistent with
the way ROM modules have their tables initialised.

Efficiency is very close to equivaluent.
