This allows configuring the pre-allocated size of sys.modules dict, in
order to prevent unwanted reallocations at run-time (3 sys-modules is
really not quite enough for a larger project).
When building with STATIC undefined (e.g., -DSTATIC=), there are two
instances of mp_type_code that collide at link time: in profile.c and in
builtinevex.c. This patch resolves the collision by renaming one of them.
The STM32WB has a problem when address resolution is enabled: under certain
conditions the MCU can get into a state where it draws an additional 10mA
or so and eventually ends up with a broken BLE RX path in the silicon. A
simple way to reproduce this is to enable address resolution (which is the
default for NimBLE) and start the device advertising. If there is enough
BLE activity in the vicinity then the device will at some point enter the
bad state and, if left long enough, will have permanent BLE RX damage.
STMicroelectronics are aware of this issue. The only known workaround at
this stage is to not enable address resolution, which is implemented by
this commit.

Prior to this commit, if C2 was busy (eg lots of BLE activity) then it may
not have had time to respond to the notification on the IPCC_CH_MM channel
by the time additional memory was available to put on that buffer. In such
a case C1 would modify the free buffer list while C2 was potentially
accessing it, and this would eventually lead to lost memory buffers (or a
corrupt linked list). If all buffers become lost then ACL packets
(asynchronous events) can no longer be delivered from C2 to C1.
This commit fixes this issue by waiting for C2 to indicate that it has
finished using the free buffer list.

This change allows to build firmware for different rp2-based boards,
following how it is done in other ports like stm32 and esp32. So far only
the original Pico and Adafruit Feather RP2040 are added. Board names
should match (sans case) those in pico-sdk/src/boards/include/boards/.
Usage: Pico firmware can be build either using make as previously (it is
the default board) or by `make BOARD=PICO`. Feather is built by `make
BOARD=ADAFRUIT_FEATHER_RP2040`. Only the board name and flash drive size
is set, pin definition is taken from the appropriate pico-sdk board
definition. Firmware is saved in the directory build-BOARD_NAME.
Instantiation and init now support the rxbuf and txbuf keywords for setting
the buffer size. The default size is 256 bytes. The minimum and maximum
sizes are 32 and 32766 respectively.
uart.write() still includes checks for timeout, even if it is very unlikely
to happen due to a) lack of flow control support and b) the minimal timeout
values being longer than the time it needs to send a byte.
StateMachine.restart: Restarts the state machine
StateMachine.rx_fifo: Return the number of RX FIFO items, 0 if empty
StateMachine.tx_fifo: Return the number of TX FIFO items, 0 if empty
restart() seems to be the most useful one, as it resets the state machine
to the initial state without the need to re-initialise/re-create. It also
makes PIO code easier, because then stalling as an error state can be
unlocked.
rx_fifo() is also useful, for MP code to check for data and timeout if no
data arrived. Complex logic is easier handled in Python code than in PIO
code.
tx_fifo() can be useful to check states where data is not processed, and is
mostly for symmetry.
The interrupt may have a higher priority than the serial output's
(USB) interrupt and may never make room. This makes prints from
interrupts (like the BLE event calls) best effort for what can be
queued up. The rest of the output will be dropped.
The implementation samples rosc.randombits at a frequency lower than the
oscillator frequency. This gives better random values. In addition, for
an 8-bit value 8 samples are taken and fed through a 8-bit CRC,
distributing the sampling over the byte. The resulting sampling rate is
about 120k/sec.
The RNG does not include testing of error conditions, like the ROSC being
in sync with the sampling or completely failing. Making the interim value
static causes it to perform a little bit better in short sync or drop-out
situations.
The output of uos.urandom() performs well with the NIST800-22 test suite.
In my trial it passed all tests of the sts 2.1.2 test suite. I also ran a
test of the random data with the Common Criteria test suite AIS 31, and it
passed all tests too.
There were a few changes that had broken this example, specifically
2cdf1d25f59409b6130c0e8b6cf50300aed2d7e6 removed file.c from ports/unix.
And (at least for MacOS) mp_state_ctx must be placed in the BSS with
-fno-common so it is visible to the linker.

STM32L476RG MCU of NUCLEO_L476RG board has 6 UART/USART units in total
(USART1, USART2, USART3, UART4, UART5 and LPUART1), but only UART2,
connected to REPL, was defined and available in Python code.
Defined are all 5 remaining UART/USART units including LPUART1.
