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.

When building for a specific board this must be specified in make
submodules. I.e. make BOARD=STM32F769DISC submodules.

The separate A and RM toolchains have been discontinued and replaced
by a single toolchain. This updates the links to the RM toolchain to
the new toolchain.

Add most formatting-only commits to this file so that when used with
git blame, these commits are excluded and the output shows only the
interesting bits.
This commit adds many new sections to the existing "Developing and building
MicroPython" chapter to make it all about the internals of MicroPython.
This work was done as part of Google's Season of Docs 2020.
