There were several different spellings of MicroPython present in comments,
when there should be only one.

<title>py/vm: Make n_state variable local to just set-up part of VM.</title>

It's not used anywhere else in the VM loop, and clashes with (is shadowed
by) the n_state variable that's redeclared towards the end of the
mp_execute_bytecode function.  Code size is unchanged.

<title>py: Provide mp_decode_uint_skip() to help reduce stack usage.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a8a5d1e8c8db3b7c64e1921005ceb5a5d47280f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Taking the address of a local variable leads to increased stack usage, so
the mp_decode_uint_skip() function is added to reduce the need for taking
addresses.  The changes in this patch reduce stack usage of a Python call
by 8 bytes on ARM Thumb, by 16 bytes on non-windowing Xtensa archs, and by
16 bytes on x86-64.  Code size is also slightly reduced on most archs by
around 32 bytes.

This patch fixes a regression introduced by
71a3d6ec3bd02c5bd13334537e1bd146bb643bad

Previous to this patch the n_state variable was referring to that computed
at the very start of the mp_execute_bytecode function.  This patch fixes it
so that n_state is recomputed when the code_state changes.

<title>py: Add LOAD_SUPER_METHOD bytecode to allow heap-free super meth calls.</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch allows the following code to run without allocating on the heap:

    super().foo(...)

Before this patch such a call would allocate a super object on the heap and
then load the foo method and call it right away.  The super object is only
needed to perform the lookup of the method and not needed after that.  This
patch makes an optimisation to allocate the super object on the C stack and
discard it right after use.

Changes in code size due to this patch are:

   bare-arm: +128
    minimal: +232
   unix x64: +416
unix nanbox: +364
     stmhal: +184
    esp8266: +340
     cc3200: +128
