Several MicroPython improvements and WiPy bugs fixed.

py core:

• Implement default and star args for lambdas.
• Allow to import compiled bytecode files.
• Add MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_LOAD/SAVE to load/save bytecode.
• Add MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE so code can persist beyond the runtime.
• Add constant table to bytecode.
• Put all bytecode state (arg count, etc) in bytecode.
• Reorganise bytecode layout so it's more structured, easier to edit.
• Clear finalizer flag when calling gc_free.
• Add support for _ in REPL to hold last computed value.
• Fix with+for+return bug by popping for-iter when unwinding exc stack.
• Move constant folding from compiler to parser.
• Don't generate unnecessary parse nodes for assignment or kwargs.

wipy:

• Correct cc3200's update file name.
• Use md5 if running under Darwin.
• Unmount all user file systems after a soft reset.
• FatFS configuration moved to the library folder.
• Force SSL method to be TLSV1.
• Make telnet server ignore NULL characters.
• Remove includes of rom.h (must be included via rom_map.h).
• Fix SPI clock divider calculation.
• Use common pyexec.c .
• Switch from HAL_GetTick() to mp_hal_ticks_ms().
• Switch from HAL_Delay() to mp_hal_delay_ms().
• Actually allow to specify a custom build directory.
• Fix bug in FTP command buffer, and set listening backlog to 0.
• Set pin direction first, then value. Fixes #1542.
• Update README to change pyb to machine.
• Allow to read pin value when in OPEN_DRAIN mode.
• Enable WLAN irq on creation.
• Add created sockets to the registry.
• Fix UART tests after correcting uart.read() behaviour.

docs:

• Make wifi/wlan naming consistent with tutorial.rst.
• Add warning about losing wlan connection when changing mode.
• Fixed some typos in the WiPy's tutorials.
• Make wifi/wlan naming consistent with tutorial.rst.
• Add warning about losing wlan connection when changing mode.
• Fixed some typos in the WiPy's tutorials.
• Make wifi/wlan naming consistent with tutorial.rst.
• Add warning about losing wlan connection when changing mode.
• Fixed some typos in the WiPy's tutorials.

known issues:

• RTC periodic alarm with sleep mode is unstable, sometimes the WiPy never wakes
• No official Timer API has been proposed, hence the timers currently use WiPy's own custom API

Improve API consistency, update to MicroPython v1.5

py core:

• Update to v1.5 (fe08e3a54fd282a100c00c9f9d4cc87869e711f0)

WiPy specific:

• in scan results rename 'auth' field to 'sec'
• create wipy module, remove HeartBeat class
• increase stack sizes a bit
• refactor network module to make the server a propper object
• WLAN class can retrieve the existing instance
• enable REPL autoindent
• uart.read() returns EGAIN if no chars available
• make socket.listen([backlog]) compliant with Python 3.5
• enable "all special methods" configuration option

docs:

• remove old references to pyb module.
• add socket and ssl docs
• add examples and tutorials

libraries:

• Blynk, now fully stable.

known issues:

• RTC periodic alarm with sleep mode is unstable, sometimes the WiPy never wakes
• No official Timer API has been proposed, hence the timers currently use WiPy's own custom API

v1.0.0: First WiPy official release

Py core:
