Damien George 65cadbeb9d tests: Update test suite to be compatible with CPython 3.6.
CPython 3.6 has a few changes that, when run on uPy's test suite, give a
different output to CPython 3.5.  uPy currently officially supports the
3.4 language definition, but it's useful to be able to run the test suite
with 3.4/3.5/3.6 versions of CPython.  This patch makes such changes to
support 3.6.

This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython.
To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory.

Tests of capabilities not supported on all platforms should be written
to check for the capability being present. If it is not, the test
should merely output 'SKIP' followed by the line terminator, and call
sys.exit() to raise SystemExit, instead of attempting to test the
missing capability. The testing framework (run-tests in this
directory, test_main.c in qemu_arm) recognizes this as a skipped test.

There are a few features for which this mechanism cannot be used to
condition a test. The run-tests script uses small scripts in the
feature_check directory to check whether each such feature is present,
and skips the relevant tests if not.

When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the 
float/ subdirectory.  Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in
module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
