Per CPython docs, "Registering a file descriptor that’s already registered
is not an error, and has the same effect as registering the descriptor
exactly once."

That's somewhat ambiguous, what's implemented here is that if fd si not
yet registered, it is registered. Otherwise, the effect is equivalent to
modify() method.
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
