Formerly, if you wrote
   SPI.frequency = 0
you would get the sightly erroneous error message
   AttributeError: 'SPI' object has no attribute 'frequency'
In this case, a better message would read
   AttributeError: 'SPI' object cannot assign attribute 'frequency'

This new message will both be used in the case where the attribute doesn't
exist at all (and the object has no dynamic attributes; most instances of
built in types behave this way), or if the attribute exists but is
read-only.

This should reclaim *most* code space added to handle f-strings.
However, there may be some small code growth as parse_string_literal
takes a new parameter (which will always be 0, so hopefully the optimizer
eliminates it)

<title>py: Implement partial PEP-498 (f-string) support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3a7a5ba6860c787cc691b5c828eff9a130f39526</id>

This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings, with two
exceptions:

- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) raise `NotImplementedError`
- one special corner case does not function as specified in the PEP
(more on that in a moment)

This is implemented in the core as a syntax translation, brute-forcing
all f-strings to run through `String.format`. For example, the statement
`x='world'; print(f'hello {x}')` gets translated *at a syntax level*
(injected into the lexer) to `x='world'; print('hello {}'.format(x))`.
While this may lead to weird column results in tracebacks, it seemed
like the fastest, most efficient, and *likely* most RAM-friendly option,
despite being implemented under the hood with a completely separate
`vstr_t`.

Since [string concatenation of adjacent literals is implemented in the
lexer](https://github.com/micropython/micropython/commit/534b7c368dc2af7720f3aaed0c936ef46d773957),
two side effects emerge:

- All strings with at least one f-string portion are concatenated into a
single literal which *must* be run through `String.format()` wholesale,
and:
- Concatenation of a raw string with interpolation characters with an
f-string will cause `IndexError`/`KeyError`, which is both different
from CPython *and* different from the corner case mentioned in the PEP
(which gave an example of the following:)

```python
x = 10
y = 'hi'
assert ('a' 'b' f'{x}' '{c}' f'str&lt;{y:^4}&gt;' 'd' 'e') == 'ab10{c}str&lt; hi &gt;de'
```

The above-linked commit detailed a pretty solid case for leaving string
concatenation in the lexer rather than putting it in the parser, and
undoing that decision would likely be disproportionately costly on
resources for the sake of a probably-low-impact corner case. An
alternative to become complaint with this corner case of the PEP would
be to revert to string concatenation in the parser *only when an
f-string is part of concatenation*, though I've done no investigation on
the difficulty or costs of doing this.

A decent set of tests is included. I've manually tested this on the
`unix` port on Linux and on a Feather M4 Express (`atmel-samd`) and
things seem sane.
