Philipp Ebensberger 0d7366c912 mimxrt: Rework flash configuration.
- Moves definition of BOARD_FLASH_SIZE and other header files related to
	flash configuration into the Makefile.
- Adds board specific clock_config.h.
- Adds board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h as they are
	required by NXP MCU SDK in order to use our own clock_config.h.
- Renames board specific FlexSPI configuration files.
- Updates flash frequency of MIMXRT1020_EVK
- Creates separated flash_config files for QSPI NOR and
	QSPI Hyper flash.
- Unifies VFS start address to be @ 1M for 1010 and 1020 boards.
- Unifies 1050EVK boards
- Adds support to both NOR and HyperFlash on boards with
	both capabilities.
- Adds automatic FlexRAM initialization to start-up code based on
	linker script and NXP HAL.
- Applies code formatting to all files in mimxrt port.

With this change the flash configuration is restructured and
organized. This simplifies the configuration process and
provides a better overview of each board's settings. With the integration
of clock_config.h, board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h we gain better
control of the settings and clock configurations. Furthermore the
implementation of an explicit FlexRAM setup improves the system
performance and allows for performance tuning.

robert-hh 1074c784b0 mimxrt: Add support for Hyperflash chips.
Hyperflash is used by the MIMXRT1050_EVKB, MIMXRT1060_EVK and
MIMXRT1064_EVK boards.

This commit includes:
- add support for Hyperflash
- modify MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK to change from QSPI to
  hyperflash.
- minor incidental changes to other boards so they still build

Note: Erasing a sector on the hyperflash is slow. It takes about a second,
which seems too long, but matches the data sheet.

robert-hh bbdc98f72e mimxrt: Enable many Python and some extmod features.
Besides Python features this includes the extmod modules which make use of
the Pin module, especially machine.softSPI, machine.SoftI2C and onewire.

robert-hh dfd4324eb1 mimxrt: Add flash storage support with VFS and littlefs filesystem.
This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.

Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS.  VFS
  will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code.  9K is
  reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c.  All flashing
  related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
  module.

It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.

Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
