This commit adds support for the STM32G4 series of MCUs, and a board
definition for NUCLEO_G474RE. This board has the REPL on LPUART1 which is
connected to the on-board ST-link USB-UART.
This commit is based upon prior work of @dpgeorge and @koendv.
MCU support for the STM32H7A3 and B3 families MCUs:
- STM32H7A3xx
- STM32H7A3xxQ (SMPS)
- STM32H7B3xx
- STM32H7B3xxQ (SMPS)
Support has been added for the STM32H7B3I_DK board.

This new series of MCUs is similar to the L4 series with an additional
Cortex-M0 coprocessor. The firmware for the wireless stack must be managed
separately and MicroPython does not currently interface to it. Supported
features so far include: RTC, UART, USB, internal flash filesystem.
With this and previous patches the stm32 port can now be compiled using
object representation D (nan boxing). Note that native code and frozen mpy
files with float constants are currently not supported with this object
representation.
On this 32-bit arch there's no need to use the long version of the format
specifier. It's only there to appease the compiler which checks the type
of the args passed to printf. Removing the "l" saves a bit of code space.
For a given IRQn (eg UART) there's no need to carry around both a PRI and
SUBPRI value (eg IRQ_PRI_UART, IRQ_SUBPRI_UART). Instead, the IRQ_PRI_UART
value has been changed in this patch to be the encoded hardware value,
using NVIC_EncodePriority. This way the NVIC_SetPriority function can be
used directly, instead of going through HAL_NVIC_SetPriority which must do
extra processing to encode the PRI+SUBPRI.
For a priority grouping of 4 (4 bits for preempt priority, 0 bits for the
sub-priority), which is used in the stm32 port, the IRQ_PRI_xxx constants
remain unchanged in their value.
This patch also "fixes" the use of raise_irq_pri() which should be passed
the encoded value (but as mentioned above the unencoded value is the same
as the encoded value for priority grouping 4, so there was no bug from this
error).
The CMSIS files for the STM32 range provide macros to distinguish between
the different MCU series: STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32L4, etc. Prefer
to use these instead of custom ones.
Newer versions of the HAL use names which are cleaner and more
self-consistent amongst the HAL itself. This patch switches to use those
names in most places so it is easier to update the HAL in the future.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
