If MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_ARGV_DEFAULTS is enabled (which it is by default)
then sys.path and sys.argv will be initialised and populated with default
values. This keeps all bare-metal ports aligned.

Frozen modules will be searched preferentially, but gives the user the
ability to override this behavior.
This matches the previous behavior where "" was implicitly the frozen
search path, but the frozen list was checked before the filesystem.

This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.
This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.
The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).
It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.
For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:

This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).
The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):

In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.
See #7680 for further discussion. And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

This function can be used to enable and disable the DC/DC converter with or
without the Bluetooth stack enabled. It can also be used to query the
current state of the DC/DC.
This commit also adds a definition of ARRAY_SIZE needed by nrfx HAL-layer.
extmod/vfs_lfs.c needs to resolve `mp_hal_time_ns()` in order to calculate
a timestamp from 1970 epoch. A wall clock is not available in the nrf
port, hence the function is implemented to resolve compilation linkage
error. The function always return 0.
Set the default manifest to "modules/manifest.py". This includes files
from the folder "modules/scripts". The manifest default value is overriden
by all nrf51 boards that have SoftDevice present (SD=s110) to save flash.
Also add "modules/manifest.py" which is set to freeze
"modules/scripts/_mkfs.py".
Add a helper script _mkfs.py which automatically formats the file system if
nrf.Flash() is located and a VFS file system has been included in the
compilation.
The precedence is: first LFS1, LFS2 then FAT.
Update the Makefile to handle FROZEN_MANIFEST, and the README with some
small samples on how to use freeze manifests. And add BOARD_DIR to the
Makefile which can be referenced in boards/<board>/mpconfigboard.mk to
include a board specific manifest.
Enable the following features for all boards except
nrf51 boards with SoftDevice present:
- MICROPY_VFS
- MICROPY_PY_NRF
- MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_INTERNAL_FLASH_STORAGE
Add posibility to override linker script "_fs_size" from make by adding the
FS_SIZE parameter. The syntax of value is linker script syntax. For
example, the value of 131072 bytes can be written as 128K like this:
FS_SIZE=128K.
If not set, default value for "_fs_size" from linker script will be used.
Disable MICROPY_FATFS_MULTI_PARTITION configuration because there is no
partition table in the flash for FATFS to read.
Also, set MICROPY_FATFS_MAX_SS to the size of a flash page. For nrf51 the
value 1024 is set. For nrf52/nrf91 the value 4096 is set.
This documents parameters that can be passed to make to enable a specific
file system to included in the build. Also, document the Makefile override
parameter "FS_SIZE" that can be used to tune the size of the flash region
to use as internal flash file system.
Update flash.c to also be compiled in when
MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_INTERNAL_FLASH_STORAGE is enabled and SoftDevice is
present.
Update bluetooth/ble_drv.c to forward flash events to flash.c when
MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_INTERNAL_FLASH_STORAGE is enabled.
This commit adds the "nrf" module for port specific modules and objects.
Included in it is the "Flash" object which exposes a block device
implementation to access internal SoC flash.
Thanks to @aykevl aka Ayke van Laethem for the initial implementation.
Calculate the unused flash area on the target device. The values will be
exposed by _unused_flash_start and _unused_flash_length. The start address
and the length are not aligned to either word or pages.
For consistency with other board-level config macros that begin with
MICROPY_HW_USB.
Also allow boards in the mimxrt, nrf and samd ports to configure these
values.

This commit adds a few math functions to the source list in the Makefile,
and implements the log2f function, so that ulab can be compiled on the nrf
boards. It also addresses part of #5162.
The "word" referred to by BYTES_PER_WORD is actually the size of mp_obj_t
which is not always the same as the size of a pointer on the target
architecture. So rename this config value to better reflect what it
measures, and also prefix it with MP_.
For uses of BYTES_PER_WORD in setting the stack limit this has been
changed to sizeof(void *), because the stack usually grows with
machine-word sized values (eg an nlr_buf_t has many machine words in it).

Add "make submodules" to commands when building for the first time.
Otherwise, on a first time build, the submodules have not been checked out
and a lot of `fatal error: nrfx.h: No such file or directory` errors are
printed.
The nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle and pca10050 comes with a pre-flashed
bootloader (OpenBootloader).
This commit updates the boards "mpconfigboard.mk" to use DFU as
default flashing method and set the corresponding BOOTLOADER
settings such that nrf52840_open_bootloader_1.2.x.ld linker
script is used.
The default DFU flashing method can be disabled by issuing "DFU=0"
when invoking make. This will lead to "segger" being used as default
flashing tool. When using "DFU=0", the linker scripts will not
compensate for any MBR and Bootloader region being present, and might
overwrite them if they were present.
The commit also removes the custom linker script specific to
nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle as it now points to a generic.
Updated nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle's README.md to be more clear on
how to deploy the built firmware.
The port README.md has also been updated. In the list of target
boards a new column has been added to indicate which bootloader
is present on the target board. And for consistency, changed all
examples in the README.md to use "deploy" instead of "flash".
An additional Makefile parameter NRFUTIL_PORT can be set in order
to define the serial port to used for the DFU (Default: /dev/ttyACM0).
The "nrfutil" that is used as flasher towards OpenBootloader is
available for installation through Python "pip".
In case of SD=s140, SoftDevice ID 0xB6 is passed to nrfutil's package
generation which corresponds to SoftDevice s140 v6.1.1.
