Previous to this patch each time a bytes object was referenced a new
instance (with the same data) was created.  With this patch a single
bytes object is created in the compiler and is loaded directly at execute
time as a true constant (similar to loading bignum and float objects).
This saves on allocating RAM and means that bytes objects can now be
used when the memory manager is locked (eg in interrupts).

The MP_BC_LOAD_CONST_BYTES bytecode was removed as part of this.

Generated bytecode is slightly larger due to storing a pointer to the
bytes object instead of the qstr identifier.

Code size is reduced by about 60 bytes on Thumb2 architectures.

<content type='text'>
This fixes a long standing problem that viper code generation gave
terrible error messages, and actually no errors on pyboard where
assertions are disabled.

Now all compile-time errors are raised as proper Python exceptions, and
are of type ViperTypeError.

Addresses issue #940.

<title>py, compiler: When just bytecode, make explicit calls instead of table.</title>

When just the bytecode emitter is needed there is no need to have a
dynamic method table for the emitter back-end, and we can instead
directly call the mp_emit_bc_XXX functions.  This gives a significant
reduction in code size and a very slight performance boost for the
compiler.

This patch saves 1160 bytes code on Thumb2 and 972 bytes on x86, when
native emitters are disabled.

Overall savings in code over the last 3 commits are:

bare-arm: 1664 bytes.
minimal:  2136 bytes.
stmhal:    584 bytes (it has native emitter enabled).
cc3200:   1736 bytes.

First pass for the compiler is computing the scope (eg if an identifier
is local or not) and originally had an entire table of methods dedicated
to this, most of which did nothing.  With changes from previous commit,
this set of methods can be removed and the methods from the bytecode
emitter used instead, with very little modification -- this is what is
done in this commit.

This factoring has little to no impact on the speed of the compiler
(tested by compiling 3763 Python scripts and timing it).

This factoring reduces code size by about 270-300 bytes on Thumb2 archs,
and 400 bytes on x86.

<title>py: Parse big-int/float/imag constants directly in parser.</title>

Previous to this patch, a big-int, float or imag constant was interned
(made into a qstr) and then parsed at runtime to create an object each
time it was needed.  This is wasteful in RAM and not efficient.  Now,
these constants are parsed straight away in the parser and turned into
objects.  This allows constants with large numbers of digits (so
addresses issue #1103) and takes us a step closer to #722.

<title>py: Change vstr so that it doesn't null terminate buffer by default.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d3cb6726ddc1bab9fdd11a0aaa259fb436da4b2</id>
<content type='text'>
This cleans up vstr so that it's a pure "variable buffer", and the user
can decide whether they need to add a terminating null byte.  In most
places where vstr is used, the vstr did not need to be null terminated
and so this patch saves code size, a tiny bit of RAM, and makes vstr
usage more efficient.  When null termination is needed it must be
done explicitly using vstr_null_terminate.
