<title>py: Convert mp_uint_t to size_t for tuple/list accessors.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6213ad7f466df12c734dc527993bbb46c9d9eb5c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes mp_uint_t to size_t for the len argument of the
following public facing C functions:

mp_obj_tuple_get
mp_obj_list_get
mp_obj_get_array

These functions take a pointer to the len argument (to be filled in by the
function) and callers of these functions should update their code so the
type of len is changed to size_t.  For ports that don't use nan-boxing
there should be no change in generate code because the size of the type
remains the same (word sized), and in a lot of cases there won't even be a
compiler warning if the type remains as mp_uint_t.

The reason for this change is to standardise on the use of size_t for
variables that count memory (or memory related) sizes/lengths.  It helps
builds that use nan-boxing.

Each threads needs to have its own private references to its current
locals/globals dicts, otherwise functions running within different
contexts (eg imported from different files) can behave very strangely.

<content type='text'>
It's more efficient using the system mutexs instead of synthetic ones with
a busy-wait loop.  The system can do proper scheduling and blocking of the
threads waiting on the mutex.

We rely on the port setting and adjusting the stack size so there is
enough room to recover from hitting the stack limit.
