Previous to this patch a call such as list.append(1, 2) would lead to a
seg fault. This is because list.append is a builtin method and the first
argument to such methods is always assumed to have the correct type.
Now, when a builtin method is extracted like this it is wrapped in a
checker object which checks the the type of the first argument before
calling the builtin function.
This feature is contrelled by MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG and
is enabled by default.
See issue #1216.
In raw REPL ">" indicates the prompt. We originally read this character
upon entering the raw REPL, and after reading the last bit of the
output. This patch changes the logic so the ">" is read only just
before trying to send the next command. To make this work (and as an
added feature) the input buffer is now flushed upon entering raw REPL.
The main reason for this change is so that pyboard.py recognises the EOF
when sys.exit() is called on the pyboard. Ie, if you run pyboard.py
with a script that calls sys.exit(), then pyboard.py will exit after
the sys.exit() is called.
