Previously to this commit, running the test suite on a bare-metal board
required specifying the target (really platform) and device, eg:
$ ./run-tests.py --target pyboard --device /dev/ttyACM1
That's quite a lot to type, and you also need to know what the target
platform is, when a lot of the time you either don't care or it doesn't
matter.
This commit makes it easier to run the tests by replacing both of these
options with a single `--test-instance` (`-t` for short) option. That
option specifies the executable/port/device to test. Then the target
platform is automatically detected.
The `--test-instance` can be passed:
- "unix" (the default) to use the unix version of MicroPython
- "webassembly" to test the webassembly port
- anything else is considered a port/device to pass to Pyboard
There are also some shortcuts to specify a port/device, following
`mpremote`:
- a<n> is short for /dev/ttyACM<n>
- u<n> is short for /dev/ttyUSB<n>
- c<n> is short for COM<n>
For example:
$ ./run-tests.py -t a1
Note that the default test instance is "unix" and so this commit does not
change the standard way to run tests on the unix port, by just doing
`./run-tests.py`.
As part of this change, the platform (and it's native architecture if it
supports importing native .mpy files) is show at the start of the test run.

Now that some ports support multiple architectures (eg esp32 has both
Xtensa and RISC-V CPUs) it's no longer possible to set mpy-cross flags
based on the target, eg `./run-tests.py --target esp32`. Instead this
commit makes it so the `-march=xxx` argument to mpy-cross is detected
automatically via evaluation of `sys.implementation._mpy`.
