94beeabd2e py/obj: Convert make_new into a mp_obj_type_t slot.
Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.

This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

0e7bfc88c6 all: Use mp_obj_malloc everywhere it's applicable.
This replaces occurences of

    foo_t *foo = m_new_obj(foo_t);
    foo->base.type = &foo_type;

with

    foo_t *foo = mp_obj_malloc(foo_t, &foo_type);

Excludes any places where base is a sub-field or when new0/memset is used.

f2040bfc7e py: Rework bytecode and .mpy file format to be mostly static data.
Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing.  They are also
smaller on disk.

But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware.  This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device.  These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM.  This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).

The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware.  This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).

This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware.  The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place.  If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.

With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).

The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded.  Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time.  This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory.  Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).

In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):

    qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;

is now (schematically):

    idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
    qst = qstr_table[idx];

That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values.  Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.

Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.

The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before

The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance.  For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit
is:

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.

In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place.  Performance is not impacted too much.  Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM.  This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

5020b14d54 py/mpprint: Fix length calculation for strings with precision-modifier.
Two issues are tackled:

1. The calculation of the correct length to print is fixed to treat the
   precision as a maximum length instead as the exact length.
   This is done for both qstr (%q) and for regular str (%s).

2. Fix the incorrect use of mp_printf("%.*s") to mp_print_strn().

   Because of the fix of above issue, some testcases that would print
   an embedded null-byte (^@ in test-output) would now fail.
   The bug here is that "%s" was used to print null-bytes. Instead,
   mp_print_strn is used to make sure all bytes are outputted and the
   exact length is respected.

Test-cases are added for both %s and %q with a combination of precision
and padding specifiers.

4601759bf5 py/objstr: Remove "make_qstr_if_not_already" arg from mp_obj_new_str.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned.  To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.

Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).

ede8a0235b py/vstr: Raise a RuntimeError if fixed vstr buffer overflows.
Current users of fixed vstr buffers (building file paths) assume that there
is no overflow and do not check for overflow after building the vstr.  This
has the potential to lead to NULL pointer dereferences
(when vstr_null_terminated_str returns NULL because it can't allocate RAM
for the terminating byte) and stat'ing and loading invalid path names (due
to the path being truncated).  The safest and simplest thing to do in these
cases is just raise an exception if a write goes beyond the end of a fixed
vstr buffer, which is what this patch does.  It also simplifies the vstr
code.
