Each built-in exception is now a type, with base type BaseException.
C exceptions are created by passing a pointer to the exception type to
make an instance of. When raising an exception from the VM, an
instance is created automatically if an exception type is raised (as
opposed to an exception instance).
Exception matching (RT_BINARY_OP_EXCEPTION_MATCH) is now proper.
Handling of parse error changed to match new exceptions.
mp_const_type renamed to mp_type_type for consistency.
Using PendSV interrupt at lowest priority, code can now raise an
exception during an interrupt by calling pendsv_nlr_jump. The exception
will be raised when all interrupts are finished. This is used to trap
ctrl-C from the USB VCP to break out of running Python code.
