Because the atomic section starts after checking whether the scheduler
state is pending, it's possible it can become a different state by the time
the atomic section starts.
This is especially likely on ports where MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION is
implemented with a mutex (i.e. it might block), but the race exists
regardless, i.e. if a context switch occurs between those two lines.
This is a more logical place to clear the KeyboardInterrupt traceback,
right before it is set as a pending exception. The clearing is also
optimised from a function call to a simple store of NULL.
Functions like mp_keyboard_interrupt() may need to be called from an IRQ
handler and may need to be in a special memory section, so provide a
generic wrapping macro for a port to do this. The macro name is chosen to
be MICROPY_WRAP_<function name in uppercase> so that (in the future with
more wrappers) each function could potentially be handled separately.
This function is tightly coupled to the state and behaviour of the
scheduler, and is a core part of the runtime: to schedule a pending
exception. So move it there.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
Behaviour was changed from stack to queue in
8977c7eb58, and this updates variable names
to match. Also updates other references (docs, error messages).
