This changes stm32 from using PENDSV to run NimBLE to use the MicroPython
scheduler instead. This allows Python BLE callbacks to be invoked directly
(and therefore synchronously) rather than via the ringbuffer.
The NimBLE UART HCI and event processing now happens in a scheduled task
every 128ms. When RX IRQ idle events arrive, it will also schedule this
task to improve latency.
There is a similar change for the unix port where the background thread now
queues the scheduled task.

This requires that the event handlers are called from non-interrupt context
(i.e. the MicroPython scheduler).
This will allow the BLE stack (e.g. NimBLE) to run from the scheduler
rather than an IRQ like PENDSV, and therefore be able to invoke Python
callbacks directly/synchronously. This allows writing Python BLE handlers
for events that require immediate response such as _IRQ_READ_REQUEST (which
was previous a hard IRQ) and future events relating to pairing/bonding.

Prior to this change machine.mem32['foo'] (or using any other non-integer
subscript) could result in a fault due to 'foo' being interpreted as an
integer. And when writing code it's hard to tell if the fault is due to a
bad subscript type, or an integer subscript that specifies an invalid
memory address.
The type of the object used in the subscript is now tested to be an
integer by using mp_obj_get_int_truncated instead of
mp_obj_int_get_truncated. The performance hit of this change is minimal,
and machine.memX objects are more for convenience than performance (there
are many other ways to read/write memory in a faster way),
Fixes issue #6588.
Add working example code to provide a starting point for users with files
that they can just copy, and include the modules in the coverage test to
verify the complete user C module build functionality. The cexample module
uses the code originally found in cmodules.rst, which has been updated to
reflect this and partially rewritten with more complete information.
Support building .cpp files and linking them into the micropython
executable in a way similar to how it is done for .c files. The main
incentive here is to enable user C modules to use C++ files (which are put
in SRC_MOD_CXX by py.mk) since the core itself does not utilize C++.
However, to verify build functionality a unix overage test is added. The
esp32 port already has CXXFLAGS so just add the user modules' flags to it.
For the unix port use a copy of the CFLAGS but strip the ones which are not
usable for C++.
This is a generally useful feature and because it's part of the object
model it cannot be added at runtime by some loadable Python code, so enable
it on the standard unix build.
It requires mp_hal_time_ns() to be provided by a port. This function
allows very accurate absolute timestamps.
Enabled on unix, windows, stm32, esp8266 and esp32.

And enable this feature on unix, the coverage variant. The .exp test file
is needed so the test can run on CPython versions prior to "@=" operator
support.

This allows `ble.active(1)` to fail correctly if the HCI controller is
unavailable.
It also avoids an infine loop in the NimBLE event handler where NimBLE
doesn't correctly detect that the HCI controller is unavailable and keeps
trying to reset.
Furthermore, it fixes an issue where GATT service registrations were left
allocated, which led to a bad realloc if the stack was activated multiple
times.
This commit adds support for using Bluetooth on the unix port via a H4
serial interface (distinct from a USB dongle), with both BTstack and NimBLE
Bluetooth stacks.
Note that MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH is now disabled for the coverage variant.
Prior to this commit Bluetooth was anyway not being built on Travis because
libusb was not detected. But now that bluetooth works in H4 mode it will
be built, and will lead to a large decrease in coverage because Bluetooth
tests cannot be run on Travis.
Previously the interaction between the different layers of the Bluetooth
stack was different on each port and each stack. This commit defines
common interfaces between them and implements them for cyw43, btstack,
nimble, stm32, unix.
By setting MICROPY_EPOCH_IS_1970 a port can opt to use 1970/1/1 as the
Epoch for timestamps returned by stat(). And this setting is enabled on
the unix and windows ports because that's what they use.

Changes are:
- The default manifest.py is moved to the variants directory (it's in
"boards" in other ports).
- The coverage variant now uses a custom manifest in its variant directory
to add frzmpy/frzstr.
- The frzmpy/frzstr tests are moved to variants/coverage/.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port. This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.
Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.
The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.
But only when bluetooth is enabled, i.e. if building the dev or coverage
variants, and we have libusb available.
Update travis to match, i.e. specify the variant when doing
`make submodules`.
This commit adds full support to the unix port for Bluetooth using the
common extmod/modbluetooth Python bindings. This uses the libusb HCI
transport, which supports many common USB BT adaptors.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
Add -Wdouble-promotion and -Wfloat-conversion for most ports to ban out
implicit floating point conversions, and add extra Travis builds using
MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to uncover warnings which weren't found
previously. For the unix port -Wsign-comparison is added as well but only
there since only clang supports this but gcc doesn't.
Initially some of these were found building the unix coverage variant on
MacOS because that build uses clang and has -Wdouble-promotion enabled, and
clang performs more vigorous promotion checks than gcc. Additionally the
codebase has been compiled with clang and msvc (the latter with warning
level 3), and with MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to find the rest of the
conversions.
Fixes are implemented either as explicit casts, or by using the correct
type, or by using one of the utility functions to handle floating point
casting; these have been moved from nativeglue.c to the public API.
Now that error string compression is supported it's more important to have
consistent error string formatting (eg all lowercase English words,
consistent contractions). This commit cleans up some of the strings to
make them more consistent.
This macro is used to implement global serialisation, typically by
disabling IRQs. On the unix port, if threading is enabled, use the
existing thread mutex (that protects the thread list structure) for this
purpose. Other places in the code (eg the scheduler) assume this macro
will provide serialisation.
