Allows to set (in case keyword args are given) or query (in case a single
"symbolic keyword" (a string, value is the same as keyword)) arbitrary
interface paramters (i.e. extensible and adaptable to various hardware).
Example usage:
ap_if = network.WLAN(1)
ap_if.config(essid="MicroPython on Air")
print(ap_if.config("essid"))
Allows to up/down interface when called with a boolean, or query current
state if called without args. This per-interface method is intended to
supersede adhoc network.wifi_mode() function.
On ESP8266, there're 2 different interfaces. Pretending it's not the case
desn't make sense. So, network.WLAN() now takes interface id, and returns
interface object. Individual operations are then methods of interface
object. Some operations require i/f of specific type (e.g. .connect()
makes sense only for STA), other are defined for any (e.g. .ifconfig(),
.mac()).
MicroPython "network" module interface requires it to contains classes
to instantiate. But as we have a static network interace, make WLAN()
"constructor" just return module itself, and just make all methods
module-global functions.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation. Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead. map.h is removed.
