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 requires that the event handlers are called from non-interrupt context
(i.e. the MicroPython scheduler).
This will allow the BLE stack (e.g. NimBLE) to run from the scheduler
rather than an IRQ like PENDSV, and therefore be able to invoke Python
callbacks directly/synchronously. This allows writing Python BLE handlers
for events that require immediate response such as _IRQ_READ_REQUEST (which
was previous a hard IRQ) and future events relating to pairing/bonding.

Using a semaphore (the previous approach) will only run the UART, whereas
for startup we need to also run the event queue.
This change makes it run the full scheduler hook.

Instead of having the stack indicate a "start", "data"..., "end", pass
through the data in one callback as an array of chunks of data.
This is because the upcoming non-ringbuffer modbluetooth implementation
cannot buffer the data in the ringbuffer and requires instead a single
callback with all the data, to pass to the Python callback.

Prior to this change machine.mem32['foo'] (or using any other non-integer
subscript) could result in a fault due to 'foo' being interpreted as an
integer. And when writing code it's hard to tell if the fault is due to a
bad subscript type, or an integer subscript that specifies an invalid
memory address.
The type of the object used in the subscript is now tested to be an
integer by using mp_obj_get_int_truncated instead of
mp_obj_int_get_truncated. The performance hit of this change is minimal,
and machine.memX objects are more for convenience than performance (there
are many other ways to read/write memory in a faster way),
Fixes issue #6588.
If a port provides MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_SEED_INIT_FUNC as a source of
randomness then this will be used when urandom.seed() is called without
an argument (or with None as the argument) to seed the pRNG.
Other related changes in this commit:
- mod_urandom___init__ is changed to call seed() without arguments, instead
of explicitly passing in the result of MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_SEED_INIT_FUNC.
- mod_urandom___init__ will only ever seed the pRNG once (before it could
seed it again if imported by, eg, random and then urandom).
- The Yasmarang state is moved to the BSS for builds where the state is
guaranteed to be initialised on import of the (u)random module.

Newer GCC versions are able to warn about switch cases that fall
through. This is usually a sign of a forgotten break statement, but in
the few cases where a fall through is intended we annotate it with this
macro to avoid the warning.
When compiling with -Wextra which includes -Wmissing-field-initializers
GCC will warn that the defval field of mp_arg_val_t is not initialized.
This is just a warning as it is defined to be zero initialized, but since
it is a union it makes sense to be explicit about which member we're
going to use, so add the explicit initializers and get rid of the
warning.
It requires mp_hal_time_ns() to be provided by a port. This function
allows very accurate absolute timestamps.
Enabled on unix, windows, stm32, esp8266 and esp32.

With a warning that this way of constructing software I2C/SPI is
deprecated. The check and warning will be removed in a future release.
This should help existing code to migrate to the new SoftI2C/SoftSPI types.

The SoftSPI constructor is now used soley to create SoftSPI instances, it
can no longer delegate to create a hardware-based SPI instance.

Also rename machine_i2c_type to mp_machine_soft_i2c_type. These changes
make it clear that it's a soft-I2C implementation, and match SoftSPI.

A read-only memoryview object is a better representation of the data, which
is owned by the ubluetooth module and may change between calls to the
user's irq callback function.

Prior to this commit, uos.chdir('/') followed by uos.stat('noexist') would
succeed that stat even though the entry did not exist (some other functions
like listdir would have similar issues). This is because, if the current
directory was the root and the path was relative, mp_vfs_lookup_path would
return success for bad paths.

For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).
Otherwise, there is no functional change made by this commit.
