To start with, the critical scripts _boot.py and flashbdev.py are frozen
to improve performance and reduce RAM consumption.
Saves about 1000 bytes of heap RAM for a bare boot with filesystem.
The time stamp is taken from the RTC for all newly generated
or changed files. RTC must be maintained separately.
The dummy time stamp of Jan 1, 2000 is set in vfs.stat() for the
root directory, avoiding invalid time values.
Based on my experience, there's rather non-zero chance to have an image be
flashed incorrectly. As --verify option is now works well in teh latest
esptool.py, enable it by default.
By design, at wake up from deepsleep, the RTC timer will be reset, but
the data stored in RTC memory will not [1]. Therefore, we have to adjust
delta in RTC memory before going into deepsleep to get almost correct
time after waking up.

Instead of calling strlen(), which won't work if there're 32 chars in
returned ESSID. struct bss_info::ssid_len is not documented in SDK API
Guide, but is present in SDK headers since 1.4.0. Just in case, previous
code is left commented.
ESP-SDK system_get_rtc_time() returns uint32 and therefore overflow
about every 7:45h. Let's write the last state of system_get_rtc_time()
in RTC mem and use it to check for overflow. This commit require running
pyb_rtc_get_us_since_2000() at least once within 7 hours to avoid
overflow.
This implementation makes use of vfs.stat() and therefore has the same
properties. Known issues for all ports: uos.stat(".") on the top level
returns the error code 22, EINVAL. The same happens with
uos.stat("dirname/") where dirname IS the name of a directory.
Ctrl-C will raise a KeyboardInterrupt and stop the scan (although it will
continue to run in the background, it won't report anything). If
interrupted, and another scan() is started before the old one completes
in the background, then the second scan will fail with an OSError.
ets_loop_iter processes pending tasks, and tasks are considered lower
priority than interrupts, so tasks shouldn't be processed if interrupts
are disabled.
Make dupterm subsystem close a term stream object when EOF or error occurs.
There's no other party than dupterm itself in a better position to do this,
and this is required to properly reclaim stream resources, especially if
multiple dupterm sessions may be established (e.g. as networking
connections).
Adding a very first start section to get people going after flashing.
I tried to condense it to a minimum to avoid as much as possible
redundancy and bloating.
