The goal of this commit is to allow using ble.gatts_notify() at any time,
even if the stack is not ready to send the notification right now. It also
addresses the same issue for ble.gatts_indicate() and ble.gattc_write()
(without response). In addition this commit fixes the case where the
buffer passed to write-with-response wasn't copied, meaning it could be
modified by the caller, affecting the in-progress write.
The changes are:
- gatts_notify/indicate will now run in the background if the ACL buffer is
currently full, meaning that notify/indicate can be called at any time.
- gattc_write(mode=0) (no response) will now allow for one outstanding
write.
- gattc_write(mode=1) (with response) will now copy the buffer so that it
can't be modified by the caller while the write is in progress.
All four paths also now track the buffer while the operation is in
progress, which prevents the GC free'ing the buffer while it's still
needed.
It might compile fine with S132 as SoftDevice for nRF52840.
However, there might be different hardware on the SoC which in
turn could make it fail.
SoftDevice S140 is correct BLE stack for nRF52840 SoC and would
provide a more accurate test build.
So that micropython-dev can be used to test VFS code, and inspect and build
filesystem images that are compatible with bare-metal systems.

This commit adds time.ticks_ms/us support using RTC1 as the timebase. It
also adds the time.ticks_add/diff helper functions. This feature can be
enabled using MICROPY_PY_TIME_TICKS. If disabled the system uses the
legacy sleep methods and does not have any ticks functions.
In addition support for MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK was added to the
time.sleep_ms(x) function, making this function more power efficient and
allows support for select.poll/asyncio. To support this, the RTC's CCR0
was used to schedule a ~1msec event to wakeup the CPU.
Some important notes about the RTC timebase:
- Since the granularity of RTC1's ticks are approx 30usec, time.ticks_us is
not perfect, does not have 1us resolution, but is otherwise quite usable.
For tighter measurments the ticker's 1MHz counter should be used.
- time.ticks_ms(x) should *not* be called in an IRQ with higher prio than
the RTC overflow irq (3). If so it introduces a race condition and
possibly leads to wrong tick calculations.
See #6171 and #6202.
When compiling for debug (-O0) the .text segment cannot fit the flash
region when MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=1, because the compiler does not
optimise away the large if-else chain used to select the correct compressed
string.
This commit enforces MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION=0 when compiling for
debug (DEBUG=1).
The storage space of the advertisement name is not declared static, leading
to a random advertisement name. This commit fixes the issue by declaring
it static.
