The new block protocol is:
- readblocks(self, n, buf)
- writeblocks(self, n, buf)
- ioctl(self, cmd, arg)
The new ioctl method handles the old sync and count methods, as well as
a new "get sector size" method.
The old protocol is still supported, and used if the device doesn't have
the ioctl method.
Per the previously discussed plan. mount() still stays backward-compatible,
and new mkfs() is rought and takes more args than needed. But is a step
in a forward direction.
Functions added are:
- randint
- randrange
- choice
- random
- uniform
They are enabled with configuration variable
MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_EXTRA_FUNCS, which is disabled by default. It is
enabled for unix coverage build and stmhal.
SHA1 is used in a number of protocols and algorithm originated 5 years ago
or so, in other words, it's in "wide use", and only newer protocols use
SHA2.
The implementation depends on axTLS enabled. TODO: Make separate config
option specifically for sha1().
Seedable and reproducible pseudo-random number generator. Implemented
functions are getrandbits(n) (n <= 32) and seed().
The algorithm used is Yasmarang by Ilya Levin:

The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method
slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t. Makes code more
efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word. Doesn't affect
ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.
