This changes stm32 from using PENDSV to run NimBLE to use the MicroPython
scheduler instead. This allows Python BLE callbacks to be invoked directly
(and therefore synchronously) rather than via the ringbuffer.
The NimBLE UART HCI and event processing now happens in a scheduled task
every 128ms. When RX IRQ idle events arrive, it will also schedule this
task to improve latency.
There is a similar change for the unix port where the background thread now
queues the scheduled task.

This makes a cleaner separation between the: driver, HCI UART and BT stack.
Also updated the naming to be more consistent (mp_bluetooth_hci_*).
Work done in collaboration with Jim Mussared aka @jimmo.
This commit adds an implementation of a "software timer" with a 1ms
resolution, using SysTick. It allows unlimited number of concurrent
timers (limited only by memory needed for each timer entry). They can be
one-shot or periodic, and associated with a Python callback.
There is a very small overhead added to the SysTick IRQ, which could be
further optimised in the future, eg by patching SysTick_Handler code
dynamically.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
The code conventions suggest using header guards, but do not define how
those should look like and instead point to existing files. However, not
all existing files follow the same scheme, sometimes omitting header guards
altogether, sometimes using non-standard names, making it easy to
accidentally pick a "wrong" example.
This commit ensures that all header files of the MicroPython project (that
were not simply copied from somewhere else) follow the same pattern, that
was already present in the majority of files, especially in the py folder.
The rules are as follows.
Naming convention:
* start with the words MICROPY_INCLUDED
* contain the full path to the file
* replace special characters with _
In addition, there are no empty lines before #ifndef, between #ifndef and
one empty line before #endif. #endif is followed by a comment containing
the name of the guard macro.
py/grammar.h cannot use header guards by design, since it has to be
included multiple times in a single C file. Several other files also do not
need header guards as they are only used internally and guaranteed to be
included only once:
* MICROPY_MPHALPORT_H
* mpconfigboard.h
* mpconfigport.h
* mpthreadport.h
* pin_defs_*.h
* qstrdefs*.h
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/.
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.
