e.g., allocating a 192x32x6bpp matrix would be enough to trigger this
reliably on a Metro M4 Express using the "memory hogging" layout.
Allocating 64x32x6bpp could trigger it, but somewhat unreliably.
There are several things going on here:
* we make the failing call with interrupts off
* we were throwing an exception with interrupts off
* protomatter failed badly in _PM_free when it was partially-initialized
Incorporate the fix from protomatter, switch to a non-throwing malloc
variant, and ensure that interrupts get turned back on.
This decreases the quality of the MemoryError (it cannot report the size
of the failed allocation) but allows CircuitPython to survive, rather
than faulting.
Otherwise, out of range writes would occur in tilegrid_set_tile, causing a safe mode reset.

It's not clear how/why this happens--is it something to do with our
multithreaded build?. Attempt to clear it up by manually checking out these
submodules ourselves.
A crash like the following occurs in the unix port:
```

I don't understand how it doesn't happen on the embedded ports, because
the module object should reside in ROM and the assignment of self->globals
should trigger a Hard Fault.
By checking VERIFY_PTR, we know that the pointed-to data is on the heap
so we can do things like mutate it.
.. hard-coding ulab for now.
It also fixes a problem where board_name was unassigned when
use_branded_name was False, which only happened at release-building
time.
Trying to change this caused multiple problems in the release process.
Since e121e267ad, the shared bindings matrix uses the stubs.
Therefore, we must build them! This should fix the failure to build
the docs on readthedocs.org.
Neither @sommersoft nor I saw this locally since we had previously built
the stubs. github CI didn't see it, because it manually builds the stubs
in an earlier step of the build process, and does not clean the tree
in between.
