3c4bfd1dec py/objexcept: Support errno attribute on OSError exceptions.
This commit adds the errno attribute to exceptions, so code can retrieve
errno codes from an OSError using exc.errno.

The implementation here simply lets `errno` (and the existing `value`)
attributes work on any exception instance (they both alias args[0]).  This
is for efficiency and to keep code size down.  The pros and cons of this
are:

Pros:
- more compatible with CPython, less difference to document and learn
- OSError().errno will correctly return None, whereas the current way of
  doing it via OSError().args[0] will raise an IndexError
- it reduces code size on most bare-metal ports (because they already have
  the errno qstr)
- for Python code that uses exc.errno the generated bytecode is 2 bytes
  smaller and more efficient to execute (compared with exc.args[0]); so
  bytecode loaded to RAM saves 2 bytes RAM for each use of this attribute,
  and bytecode that is frozen saves 2 bytes flash/ROM for each use
- it's easier/shorter to type, and saves 2 bytes of space in .py files that
  use it (for each use)

Cons:
- increases code size by 4-8 bytes on minimal ports that don't already have
  the `errno` qstr
- all exceptions now have .errno and .value attributes (a cpydiff test is
  added to address this)

8979ce1671 tests: Modify tests that print repr of an exception with 1 arg.
In Python 3.7 the behaviour of repr() of an exception with one argument
changed: it no longer prints a trailing comma in the argument list.  See
https://bugs.python.org/issue30399

This patch modifies tests that rely on this behaviour to not rely on it.
And the python34.py test is updated to include a test for this behaviour
with a .exp file.
