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.

f46782dde9 mimxrt: Add new, minimal port to NXP i.MX RT series CPUs.
This is an extremely minimal port to the NXP i.MX RT, in the style of the
SAMD port  It's largely based on the TinyUSB mimxrt implementation, using
the NXP SDK.  It currently supports the Teensy 4.0 board with a REPL over
the USB-VCP interface.

This commit also adds the NXP SDK submodule (also from TinyUSB) to
lib/nxp_driver.

Note: if you already have the tinyusb submodule initialized recursively you
will need to run the following as the tinyusb sub-submodules have been
rearranged (upstream):

    git submodule deinit lib/tinyusb
    rm -rf .git/modules/lib/tinyusb
    git submodule update --init lib/tinyusb
