32bef315be py, gc: Only zero out the extra bytes at the end of the heap chunk.
This is a small optimisation to zero out only the additional bytes that
the caller did not ask for.

daab651c5c py, gc: Zero out newly allocated blocks in the GC.
Also add some more debugging output to gc_dump_alloc_table().

Now that newly allocated heap is always zero'd, maybe we just make this
a policy for the uPy API to keep it simple (ie any new implementation of
memory allocation must zero all allocations).  This follows the D
language philosophy.

Before this patch, a previously used memory block which had pointers in
it may still retain those pointers if the new user of that block does
not actually use the entire block.  Eg, if I want 5 blocks worth of
heap, I actually get 8 (round up to nearest 4).  Then I never use the
last 3, so they keep their old values, which may be pointers pointing to
the heap, hence preventing GC.

In rare (or maybe not that rare) cases, this leads to long, unintentional
"linked lists" within the GC'd heap, filling it up completely.  It's
pretty rare, because you have to reuse exactly that memory which is part
of this "linked list", and reuse it in just the right way.

This should fix issue #522, and might have something to do with
issue #510.

58ba4c3b4c py: Check explicitly for memory allocation failure in parser.
Previously, a failed malloc/realloc would throw an exception, which was
not caught.  I think it's better to keep the parser free from NLR
(exception throwing), hence this patch.

44739e280e Make DEBUG_printf() a proper function, implementation is port-dependent.
In particular, unix outputs to stderr, to allow to run testsuite against
micropython built with debug output (by redirecting stderr to /dev/null).

58ff93bc7c Get rid of calloc().
If there's malloc and memset, then there's no need for calloc, especially if
we need to implement it ourselves.
