Alessandro Gatti e8c3f31ba2 mimxrt/machine_rtc: Deprecate RTC.cancel in MicroPython v2.
The current documentation for the `machine.RTC` class contains information
about the `RTC.cancel` method for cancelling pending alarms.

However only two ports (cc3200 and mimxrt) implement this functionality
but under a different name: `RTC.alarm_cancel`.  The mimxrt port also
implements `RTC.cancel` but it is aliased to `RTC.alarm_cancel` anyway.

To maintain naming consistency, this commit updates the documentation to
officially define `RTC.alarm_cancel` as the method to call to cancel
pending alarms and deprecates mimxrt's `RTC.cancel` implementation.
`RTC.cancel` in the mimxrt port is thus scheduled for removal in
MicroPython v2.

.. currentmodule:: machine
.. _machine.RTC:
class RTC -- real time clock
============================
The RTC is an independent clock that keeps track of the date
and time.
Example usage::
rtc = machine.RTC()
rtc.datetime((2020, 1, 21, 2, 10, 32, 36, 0))
print(rtc.datetime())
Constructors
------------
.. class:: RTC(id=0, ...)
Create an RTC object. See init for parameters of initialization.
Methods
-------
.. method:: RTC.datetime([datetimetuple])
Get or set the date and time of the RTC.
With no arguments, this method returns an 8-tuple with the current
date and time. With 1 argument (being an 8-tuple) it sets the date
and time.
The 8-tuple has the following format:
(year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, seconds, subseconds)
The meaning of the ``subseconds`` field is hardware dependent.
.. method:: RTC.init(datetime)
Initialise the RTC. Datetime is a tuple of the form:
``(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[, tzinfo]]]]])``
.. method:: RTC.now()
Get get the current datetime tuple.
.. method:: RTC.deinit()
Resets the RTC to the time of January 1, 2015 and starts running it again.
.. method:: RTC.alarm(id, time, *, repeat=False)
Set the RTC alarm. Time might be either a millisecond value to program the alarm to
current time + time_in_ms in the future, or a datetimetuple. If the time passed is in
milliseconds, repeat can be set to ``True`` to make the alarm periodic.
.. method:: RTC.alarm_left(alarm_id=0)
Get the number of milliseconds left before the alarm expires.
.. method:: RTC.alarm_cancel(alarm_id=0)
Cancel a running alarm.
The mimxrt port also exposes this function as ``RTC.cancel(alarm_id=0)``, but this is
scheduled to be removed in MicroPython 2.0.
.. method:: RTC.irq(*, trigger, handler=None, wake=machine.IDLE)
Create an irq object triggered by a real time clock alarm.
- ``trigger`` must be ``RTC.ALARM0``
- ``handler`` is the function to be called when the callback is triggered.
- ``wake`` specifies the sleep mode from where this interrupt can wake
up the system.
.. method:: RTC.memory([data])
``RTC.memory(data)`` will write *data* to the RTC memory, where *data* is any
object which supports the buffer protocol (including `bytes`, `bytearray`,
`memoryview` and `array.array`). ``RTC.memory()`` reads RTC memory and returns
a `bytes` object.
Data written to RTC user memory is persistent across restarts, including
:ref:`soft_reset` and `machine.deepsleep()`.
The maximum length of RTC user memory is 2048 bytes by default on esp32,
and 492 bytes on esp8266.
Availability: esp32, esp8266 ports.
