NLR buffers are usually quite large (use lots of C stack) and expensive to
push and pop. Some of the time they are only needed to perform clean up if
an exception happens, and then they re-raise the exception.
This commit allows optimizing that scenario by introducing a linked-list of
NLR callbacks that are called automatically when an exception is raised.
They are essentially a light-weight NLR handler that can implement a
"finally" block, i.e. clean-up when an exception is raised, or (by passing
`true` to nlr_pop_jump_callback) when execution leaves the scope.

This can lead to duplicate initialisations if a module can be imported
via multiple names, so the module must track this itself anyway.
This reduces code size (diff is -40 bytes), and avoids special treatment of
builtin-modules-with-init with respect to sys.modules. No other builtin
modules get put into sys.modules.

To use this:
- Create a built-in module, and add the module object as a member of the
parent module's globals dict.
- The submodule can set its `__name__` to either `QSTR_foo_dot_bar` or
`QSTR_bar`. The former requires using qstrdefs(port).h to make the qstr.
Because `bar` is a member of `foo`'s globals, it is possible to write
`import foo` and then immediately use `foo.bar` without importing it
explicitly. This means that if `bar` has an `__init__`, it will not be
called in this situation, and for that reason, sub-modules should not have
`__init__` methods. If this is required, then all initalisation for
sub-modules should be done by the top-level module's (i.e. `foo`'s)
`__init__` method.

This makes it so that sub-packages are resolved relative to their parent's
`__path__`, rather than re-resolving each parent's filesystem path.
The previous behavior was that `import foo.bar` would first re-search
`sys.path` for `foo`, then use the resulting path to find `bar`.
For already-loaded and u-prefixed modules, because we no longer need to
build the path from level to level, we no longer unnecessarily search
the filesystem. This should improve startup time.
Explicitly makes the resolving process clear:
- Loaded modules are returned immediately without touching the filesystem.
- Exact-match of builtins are also returned immediately.
- Then the filesystem search happens.
- If that fails, then the weak-link handling is applied.
This maintains the existing behavior: if a user writes `import time` they
will get time.py if it exits, otherwise the built-in utime. Whereas `import
utime` will always return the built-in.
This also fixes a regression from a7fa18c203
where we search the filesystem for built-ins. It is now only possible to
override u-prefixed builtins. This will remove a lot of filesystem stats
at startup, as micropython-specific modules (e.g. `pyb`) will no longer
attempt to look at the filesystem.
Added several improvements to the comments and some minor renaming and
refactoring to make it clearer how the import mechanism works. Overall

If sys.path is enabled, but empty, this will now no longer search the
filesystem. Previously an empty sys.path was equivalent to having
`sys.path=[""]`. This is a breaking change, but this behavior now matches
CPython.
This also provides an alternative mechanism to the u-prefix to force an
import of a builtin module:
```
import sys
_path = sys.path[:]
sys.path.clear()
import foo # Forces the built-in foo.
sys.path.extend(_path)
del _path

Changes in this commit:
- Add MICROPY_GC_HOOK_LOOP to gc_info() and gc_alloc(). Both of these can
be long running (many milliseconds) which is too long to be blocking in
some applications.
- Pass loop variable to MICROPY_GC_HOOK_LOOP(i) macro so that implementers
can use it, e.g. to improve performance by only calling a function every
X number of iterations.
- Drop outer call to MICROPY_GC_HOOK_LOOP in gc_mark_subtree().
When a tuple is the condition of an if statement, it's only possible to
optimise that tuple away when it is a constant tuple (ie all its elements
are constants), because if it's not constant then the elements must be
evaluated in case they have side effects (even though the resulting tuple
will always be "true").
The code before this change handled the empty tuple OK (because it doesn't
need to be evaluated), but it discarded non-empty tuples without evaluating
them, which is incorrect behaviour (as show by the updated test).
This optimisation is anyway rarely applied because it's not common Python
coding practice to write things like `if (): ...` and `if (1, 2): ...`, so
removing this optimisation completely won't affect much code, if any.
Furthermore, when MICROPY_COMP_CONST_TUPLE is enabled, constant tuples are
already optimised by the parser, so expression with constant tuples like
`if (): ...` and `if (1, 2): ...` will continue to be optimised properly
(and so when this option is enabled the code that's deleted in this commit
is actually unreachable when the if condition is a constant tuple).

When := is used in a comprehension the target variable is bound to the
parent scope, so it's either a global or a nonlocal. Prior to this commit
that was handled by simply using the parent scope's id_info for the
target variable. That's completely wrong because it uses the slot number
for the parent's Python stack to store the variable, rather than the slot
number for the comprehension. This will in most cases lead to incorrect
behaviour or memory faults.
This commit fixes the scoping of the target variable by explicitly
declaring it a global or nonlocal, depending on whether the parent is the
global scope or not. Then the id_info of the comprehension can be used to
access the target variable. This fixes a lot of cases of using := in a
comprehension.

The check for make_new (i.e. used to determine something's type) is now
more complicated due to the slot access. This commit changes the inlining
of a few frequently-used helpers to overall improve code size and
performance.
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.

The goal here is to remove a slot (making way to turn make_new into a slot)
as well as reduce code size by the ~40 references to mp_identity_getiter
and mp_stream_unbuffered_iter.
This introduces two new type flags:
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_ITERNEXT: This means that the "iter" slot in the
type is "iternext", and should use the identity getiter.
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_CUSTOM: This means that the "iter" slot is a pointer
to a mp_getiter_iternext_custom_t instance, which then defines both
getiter and iternext.
And a third flag that is the OR of both, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_STREAM: This
means that the type should use the identity getiter, and
mp_stream_unbuffered_iter as iternext.
Finally, MP_TYPE_FLAG_ITER_IS_GETITER is defined as a no-op flag to give
the default case where "iter" is "getiter".

The existings mp_obj_type_t uses a sparse representation for slots for the
capability methods of the type (eg print, make_new). This commit adds a
compact slot-index representation. The basic idea is that where the
mp_obj_type_t struct used to have 12 pointer fields, it now has 12 uint8_t
indices, and a variable-length array of pointers. So in the best case (no
fields used) it saves 12x4-12=36 bytes (on a 32-bit machine) and in the
common case (three fields used) it saves 9x4-12=24 bytes.
Overall with all associated changes, this slot-index representation reduces
code size by 1000 to 3000 bytes on bare-metal ports. Performance is
marginally better on a few tests (eg about 1% better on misc_pystone.py and
misc_raytrace.py on PYBv1.1), but overall marginally worse by a percent or
so.

This will allow the structure of mp_obj_type_t to change while keeping the
definition code the same.

The buffer protocol type only has a single member, and this existing layout
creates problems for the upcoming split/slot-index mp_obj_type_t layout
optimisations.
If we need to make the buffer protocol more sophisticated in the future
either we can rely on the mp_obj_type_t optimisations to just add
additional slots to mp_obj_type_t or re-visit the buffer protocol then.
This change is a no-op in terms of generated code.
