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.

The existing inline bytecode caching optimisation, selected by
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, reserves an extra byte in the
bytecode after certain opcodes, which at runtime stores a map index of the
likely location of this field when looking up the qstr. This scheme is
incompatible with bytecode-in-ROM, and doesn't work with native generated
code. It also stores bytecode in .mpy files which is of a different format
to when the feature is disabled, making generation of .mpy files more
complex.
This commit provides an alternative optimisation via an approach that adds
a global cache for map offsets, then all mp_map_lookup operations use it.
It's less precise than bytecode caching, but allows the cache to be
independent and external to the bytecode that is executing. It also works
for the native emitter and adds a similar performance boost on top of the
gain already provided by the native emitter.

When the LOAD_ATTR opcode is executed there are quite a few different cases
that have to be handled, but the common case is accessing a member on an
instance type. Typically, built-in types provide methods which is why this
is common.
Fortunately, for this specific case, if the member is found in the member
map then there's no further processing.
This optimisation does a relatively cheap check (type is instance) and then
forwards directly to the member map lookup, falling back to the regular
path if necessary.

Update minimal port to use the new "minimal" rom level config (this is a

This is the beginning of a set of changes to simplify enabling/disabling
features. The goals are:
- Remove redundancy from mpconfigport.h (never set a value to the default
-- make it clear exactly what's being enabled).
- Improve consistency between ports. All "similar" ports (i.e. approx same
flash size) should get the same features.
- Simplify mpconfigport.h -- just get default/sensible options for the size
of the port.
- Make it easy for defining constrained boards (e.g. STM32F0/L0), they can
just set a lower level.
This commit makes a step towards this and defines the "core" level as the
current default feature set, and a "minimal" level to turn off everything.
And a few placeholder levels are added for where the other ports will
roughly land.
This is a no-op change for all ports.

Any external user of DMA (eg a board with a custom DMA driver) must call
dma_external_acquire() for their DMA controller/stream to ensure that the
DMA clock is not automatically turned off while it's still being used
externally.

This change allows a CPU pin to be hidden from the user by prefixing it
with a "-" in the pins.csv file for a board. It will still be available in
C code, just not exposed to Python.

To simplify the socket state.
The CC3K driver (see drivers/cc3000/inc/socket.h and src/socket.c) has
socket() returning an INT16 so there is now enough room to store it
directly in the fileno member.
The network.STA_IF and network.AP_IF constants are now independent to the
CYW43_ITF_STA and CYW43_ITF_AP constants.

- Moves definition of BOARD_FLASH_SIZE and other header files related to
flash configuration into the Makefile.
- Adds board specific clock_config.h.
- Adds board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h as they are
required by NXP MCU SDK in order to use our own clock_config.h.
- Renames board specific FlexSPI configuration files.
- Updates flash frequency of MIMXRT1020_EVK
- Creates separated flash_config files for QSPI NOR and
QSPI Hyper flash.
- Unifies VFS start address to be @ 1M for 1010 and 1020 boards.
- Unifies 1050EVK boards
- Adds support to both NOR and HyperFlash on boards with
both capabilities.
- Adds automatic FlexRAM initialization to start-up code based on
linker script and NXP HAL.
- Applies code formatting to all files in mimxrt port.
With this change the flash configuration is restructured and
organized. This simplifies the configuration process and
provides a better overview of each board's settings. With the integration
of clock_config.h, board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h we gain better
control of the settings and clock configurations. Furthermore the
implementation of an explicit FlexRAM setup improves the system
performance and allows for performance tuning.

It's not possible anymore to build MicroPython on Cygwin using a
standard Windows installation of Python so don't advertise that.
Specifically: preprocessing in makeqstrdefs.py fails on the subprocess
call with 'gcc: fatal error: no input files' because one of the flags
contains double quotes and that somehow messes up the commandline.
This commit simplifies and optimises the parse tree in-memory
representation of lists of expressions, for tuples and lists, and when
tuples are used on the left-hand-side of assignments and within del
statements. This reduces memory usage of the parse tree when such code is
compiled, and also reduces the size of the compiler.
For example, (1,) was previously the following parse tree:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=2)
int(1)
testlist_comp_3b(149) (n=1)
NULL
NULL
and with this commit is now:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=1)
int(1)
NULL
Similarly, (1, 2, 3) was previously:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=2)
int(1)
testlist_comp_3c(150) (n=2)
int(2)
int(3)
NULL
and is now:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=3)
int(1)
int(2)
int(3)
NULL

Following the code example for ESP32 of Jim Mussard.
As a side effect:
- mp_hal_ticks_cpu() was implemented,
- mp_hal_get_cpu_freq() and mp_hal_ticks_cpu_init() were added and used.
- mp_hal_pin_high() and mp_hal_pin_low() were changed for symmetry
- Configures `PLL2->PFD0` with **198MHz** as base clock of
`USDHCx` peripheral.
- Adds guards for SDCard related files via `MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SDCARD`
- Adds creation of pin defines for SDCard to make-pins.py
- Adds new configuration option for SDCard peripheral pinout
to mpconfigport.h
- Adds interrupt handling support instead of polling
- Adds support for `ADMA2` powered data transfer
- Configures SDCard to run in HS (high-speed mode) with **50MHz** only!
SDCard support is optional and requires `USDHC` peripheral.
Thus this driver is not available on `MIMXRT1010_EVK`.
SDCard support is enabled by setting `MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SDCARD = 1`
in mpconfigboard.mk.

This commit refactors machine.PWM and creates extmod/machine_pwm.c. The
esp8266, esp32 and rp2 ports all use this and provide implementations of
the required PWM functionality. This helps to reduce code duplication and
keep the same Python API across ports.
This commit does not make any functional changes.
