7f3c0d1ea8 py: Clear finalizer flag when calling gc_free.
Currently, the only place that clears the bit is in gc_collect.
So if a block with a finalizer is allocated, and subsequently
freed, and then the block is reallocated with no finalizer then
the bit remains set.

This could also be fixed by having gc_alloc clear the bit, but
I'm pretty sure that free is called way less than alloc, so doing
it in free is more efficient.

ade9a05236 py: Improve allocation policy of qstr data.
Previous to this patch all interned strings lived in their own malloc'd
chunk.  On average this wastes N/2 bytes per interned string, where N is
the number-of-bytes for a quanta of the memory allocator (16 bytes on 32
bit archs).

With this patch interned strings are concatenated into the same malloc'd
chunk when possible.  Such chunks are enlarged inplace when possible,
and shrunk to fit when a new chunk is needed.

RAM savings with this patch are highly varied, but should always show an
improvement (unless only 3 or 4 strings are interned).  New version
typically uses about 70% of previous memory for the qstr data, and can
lead to savings of around 10% of total memory footprint of a running
script.

Costs about 120 bytes code size on Thumb2 archs (depends on how many
calls to gc_realloc are made).

b4b10fd350 py: Put all global state together in state structures.
This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure.  Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.

109c1de015 py: Make gc.enable/disable just control auto-GC; alloc is still allowed.
gc.enable/disable are now the same as CPython: they just control whether
automatic garbage collection is enabled or not.  If disabled, you can
still allocate heap memory, and initiate a manual collection.

04b9147e15 Add license header to (almost) all files.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files.  Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.

Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
