<content type='text'>
Main changes when MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE is enabled are:

- qstrs are encoded as 2-byte fixed width in the bytecode
- all pointers are removed from bytecode and put in const_table (this
  includes const objects and raw code pointers)

Ultimately this option will enable persistence for not just bytecode but
also native code.

<title>py: Remove mp_load_const_bytes and instead load precreated bytes object.</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<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.
