This adds support for the `--via-mpy` and `--emit native` options when
running tests on remote targets (via pyboard.py). It's now possible to do:
$ ./run-tests.py --target pyboard --via-mpy
$ ./run-tests.py --target pyboard --via-mpy --emit native

This commit introduces changes:
- All jump opcodes are changed to have variable length arguments, of either
1 or 2 bytes (previously they were fixed at 2 bytes). In most cases only
1 byte is needed to encode the short jump offset, saving bytecode size.
- The bytecode emitter now selects 1 byte jump arguments when the jump
offset is guaranteed to fit in 1 byte. This is achieved by checking if
the code size changed during the last pass and, if it did (if it shrank),
then requesting that the compiler make another pass to get the correct
offsets of the now-smaller code. This can continue multiple times until
the code stabilises. The code can only ever shrink so this iteration is
guaranteed to complete. In most cases no extra passes are needed, the
original 4 passes are enough to get it right by the 4th pass (because the
2nd pass computes roughly the correct labels and the 3rd pass computes
the correct size for the jump argument).
This change to the jump opcode encoding reduces .mpy files and RAM usage
(when bytecode is in RAM) by about 2% on average.
The performance of the VM is not impacted, at least within measurment of
the performance benchmark suite.
Code size is reduced for builds that include a decent amount of frozen
bytecode. ARM Cortex-M builds without any frozen code increase by about
350 bytes.

Some versions of Python (for instance: the mingw-w64 version which can be
installed on MSYS2) do include a pty module and claim to be posix-like
(os.name == 'posix'), yet the select.select call used in run-tests.py hangs
forever. To be on the safe side just exclude anything which might be
running on windows.
In commit 86ce442607 the '.frozen' entry was
added at the start of sys.path, to allow control over when frozen modules
are searched during import, and retain existing behaviour whereby frozen
was searched before the filesystem.
But Python semantics of sys.path require sys.path[0] to be the directory of
the currently executing script, or ''.
This commit moves the '.frozen' entry to second place in sys.path, so
sys.path[0] retains its correct value (described above).

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:
diff of scores (higher is better)
N=2000 M=2000 bccache -> attrmapcache diff diff% (error%)
bm_chaos.py 13742.56 -> 13905.67 : +163.11 = +1.187% (+/-3.75%)

misc_raytrace.py 21490.40 -> 22227.23 : +736.83 = +3.429% (+/-1.88%)
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):
diff of scores (higher is better)
N=2000 M=2000 native -> nat-attrmapcache diff diff% (error%)

misc_raytrace.py 19800.01 -> 23350.73 : +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%)
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 implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.
It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)
It also supports:
f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)
This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.
There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
`SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.
- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
"{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a) (str.format will incorrectly use
the braces from the non-f-string)
f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)
- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
resolve nested braces in expressions like
f"{'}'}"
- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.
Includes tests and cpydiffs.

Commit cb68a5741a broke automatic Python
feature detection when running tests, because some detection relied on a

This commit fixes this and improves the situation by testing for the lack

Default to just calling python since that is most commonly available: the
official installer or zipfiles from python.org, anaconda, nupkg all result
in python being available but not python3. In other words: the default
used so far is wrong. Note that os.name is 'posix' when running the python
version which comes with Cygwin or MSys2 so they are not affected by this.
However of all possible ways to get Python on Windows, only Cygwin provides
no python command so update the default way for running tests in the
README.
This commit switches the roles of the helper task from a cancellation task
to a runner task, to get the correct semantics for cancellation of
wait_for.
Some uasyncio tests are now disabled for the native emitter due to issues

The use of -S ensures that only the CPython standard library is accessible,
which makes tests run the same regardless of any site-packages that are
installed. It also improves start-up time of CPython, reducing the overall
time spent running the test suite.
tests/basics/containment.py is updated to work around issue with old Python
versions not being able to str-format a dict-keys object, which becomes
apparent when -S is used.

A configurable result directory is advantageous because it enables
using a dedicated location, eventually outside of the source tree,
instead of forcing the output files into a fixed directory which might
also contain other files already. For that reason the default output
directory also has been changed to tests/results/.
Replace some usages of paths relative to the current working directory
with absolute paths relative to the tests directory.
Fixes and resulting changes:
- default values of MICROPYTHON and MPYCROSS are absolute paths and
always correct
- likewise, the correct full paths for tools and extmod directories
are appended to sys.path
- printing/cleaning failures works properly since it expects the .exp
and .out files in the tests directory which is also where they
are written to now, plus no more need for changing directories
This fixes#5872 and allows running custom tests which use run-tests
without having to cd to the tests directory first, and the test output
still is in the tests/ directory instead of the current working directory.
Discovery of tests and all skip test logic based on paths relative to
the current working directory remains unchanged which essentially means
that for running most of MicroPython's own tests, run-tests must still
be ran from within it's directory, so document that.
This allows complex binary operations to fail gracefully with unsupported
operation rather than raising an exception, so that special methods work
correctly.

This commit adds several small items to improve the support for OTA
updates on an esp32:
- a partition table for 4MB flash modules that has two OTA partitions ready
to go to do updates
- a GENERIC_OTA board that uses that partition table and that enables
automatic roll-back in the bootloader
- a new esp32.Partition.mark_app_valid_cancel_rollback() class-method to
signal that the boot is successful and should not be rolled back at the
next reset
- an automated test for doing an OTA update
- documentation updates
This adds a couple of commands to the run-tests script to print the diffs
of failed tests and also to clean up the .exp and .out files after failed
tests. (And a spelling error is fixed while we are touching nearby code.)
Travis is also updated to use these new commands, including using it for
more builds.
This commit adds backward-word, backward-kill-word, forward-word,
forward-kill-word sequences for the REPL, with bindings to Alt+F, Alt+B,
Alt+D and Alt+Backspace respectively. It is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_WORDS_MOVE.
Further enabling MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_EXTRA_WORDS_MOVE adds extra bindings
for these new sequences: Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+W.
The features are enabled on unix micropython-coverage and micropython-dev.
It is possile for `run_feature_check(pyb, args, base_path, 'float.py')` to
return `b'CRASH'`. This causes an unhandled exception in `int()`.
This commit fixes the problem by first testing for `b'CRASH'` before trying
to convert the return value to an integer.
- Split 'qemu-arm' from 'unix' for generating tests.
- Add frozen module to the qemu-arm test build.
- Add test that reproduces the requirement to half-word align native
function data.
When running Linux on WSL, Popen.kill() can raise a ProcessLookupError if
the process does not exist anymore, which can happen here since the
previous statement already tries to close the process by sending Ctrl-D to
the running repl. This doesn't seem to be a problem on other OSes, so just
swallow the exception silently since it indicates the process has been
closed already, which after all is what we want.
This ensures that implicit variables are only converted to implicit
closed-over variables (nonlocals) at the very end of the function scope.
If variables are closed-over when first used (read from, as was done prior
to this commit) then this can be incorrect because the variable may be
assigned to later on in the function which means they are just a plain
local, not closed over.
Fixes issue #4272.
This commit implements PEP479 which disallows raising StopIteration inside
a generator to signal that it should be finished. Instead, the generator
should simply return when it is complete.
See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/ for details.
