Original patch was authored by Tobias Badertscher / @tobbad, but it was
reworked to split UART edits from USB edits.

L4 does not have UART6, and has similar registers to the F7.

64-bit integer division brings a dependency on library functions. It is
avoided here by dividing fck and baud by a common divisior.  The error
is the better (1/(2*0x300)) as with 64 bit division (1/(0x300)).

These files come from STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.3.0, with Windows line endings
converted to unix.  Only basic HAL files are added.  In addition the QSPI
support is included to support later external QSPI flash as mass storage.

- any architecture may explicitely build with qstring make
  QSTR_AUTOGEN_DISABLE=1 autogeneration disabled and provide its
  own list of qstrings by the standard
  mechanisms (qstrdefsport.h).

Note this still needs some work: currently all source files are always
preprocessed no matter which one actually changed, moreover that happens
file by file without any parallellism so builds are painstakingly slow.

- add template rule that converts a specified source file into a qstring file

- add special rule for generating a central header that contains all
  extracted/autogenerated strings - defined by QSTR_DEFS_COLLECTED
  variable. Each platform appends a list of sources that may contain
  qstrings into a new build variable: SRC_QSTR. Any autogenerated
  prerequisities are should be appened to SRC_QSTR_AUTO_DEPS variable.

- remove most qstrings from py/qstrdefs, keep only qstrings that
  contain special characters - these cannot be easily detected in the
  sources without additional annotations

- remove most manual qstrdefs, use qstrdef autogen for: py, cc3200,
  stmhal, teensy, unix, windows, pic16bit:

   - remove all micropython generic qstrdefs except for the special strings that contain special characters (e.g. /,+,<,> etc.)
   - remove all port specific qstrdefs except for special strings
   - append sources for qstr generation in platform makefiles (SRC_QSTR)

This script will search for patterns of the form Q(...) and generate a
list of them.

The original code by Pavel Moravec has been significantly simplified to
remove the part that searched for C preprocessor directives (eg #if).
This is because all source is now run through CPP before being fed into
this script.

Small hash tables (eg those used in user class instances that only have a
few members) now only use the minimum amount of memory necessary to hold
the key/value pairs.  This can reduce performance for instances that have
many members (because then there are many reallocations/rehashings of the
table), but helps to conserve memory.

See issue #1760.

Don't describe just single port's peculiarities, note aboute possible
array of issues with floating-point.

Should fix issue #1947.

"" is the correct name of the root directory when mounting a device there
(as opposed to "/").  One can now do os.listdir('/') and open('/abc'), as
well as os.listdir() and open('abc').

These are *defined* per-port, but why redeclare them again and again.
