The STATIC macro was introduced a very long time ago in commit
d5df6cd44a. The original reason for this was
to have the option to define it to nothing so that all static functions
become global functions and therefore visible to certain debug tools, so
one could do function size comparison and other things.
This STATIC feature is rarely (if ever) used. And with the use of LTO and
heavy inline optimisation, analysing the size of individual functions when
they are not static is not a good representation of the size of code when
fully optimised.
So the macro does not have much use and it's simpler to just remove it.
Then you know exactly what it's doing. For example, newcomers don't have
to learn what the STATIC macro is and why it exists. Reading the code is
also less "loud" with a lowercase static.
One other minor point in favour of removing it, is that it stops bugs with
`STATIC inline`, which should always be `static inline`.
Methodology for this commit was:
1) git ls-files | egrep '\.[ch]$' | \
xargs sed -Ei "s/(^| )STATIC($| )/\1static\2/"
2) Do some manual cleanup in the diff by searching for the word STATIC in
comments and changing those back.
3) "git-grep STATIC docs/", manually fixed those cases.
4) "rg -t python STATIC", manually fixed codegen lines that used STATIC.

This is necessary to avoid watchdog timeout in long i2c.scan(), as
previously machine_i2c.c would call MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK if
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK_FAST was not available.
Compared to previous implementation, this implementation removes the
ets_event_poll() function and calls the SDK function ets_loop_iter() from
MICROPY_INTERNAL_EVENT_HOOK instead. This allows using the port-agnostic
functions in more places.
There is a small behaviour change, which is that the event loop gets
iterated in a few more places (i.e. anywhere that mp_event_handle_nowait()
is called). However, this looks like maybe only modselect.c - and is
probably good to process Wi-Fi events in that polling loop.

For consistency with other Python-level modules.
Also add the corresponding missing preprocessor guard to esp32/modespnow.c,
so that this port compiles if MICROPY_PY_ESPNOW and MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_WLAN
are set to 0.
Fixes#12622.

ESP-NOW is a proprietary wireless communication protocol which supports
connectionless communication between ESP32 and ESP8266 devices, using
vendor specific WiFi frames. This commit adds support for this protocol
through a new `espnow` module.
This commit builds on original work done by @nickzoic, @shawwwn and with
contributions from @zoland. Features include:
- Use of (extended) ring buffers in py/ringbuf.[ch] for robust IO.
- Signal strength (RSSI) monitoring.
- Core support in `_espnow` C module, extended by `espnow.py` module.
- Asyncio support via `aioespnow.py` module (separate to this commit).
- Docs provided at `docs/library/espnow.rst`.
Methods available in espnow.ESPNow class are:
- active(True/False)
- config(): set rx buffer size, read timeout and tx rate
- recv()/irecv()/recvinto() to read incoming messages from peers
- send() to send messages to peer devices
- any() to test if a message is ready to read
- irq() to set callback for received messages
- stats() returns transfer stats:
(tx_pkts, tx_pkt_responses, tx_failures, rx_pkts, lost_rx_pkts)
- add_peer(mac, ...) registers a peer before sending messages
- get_peer(mac) returns peer info: (mac, lmk, channel, ifidx, encrypt)
- mod_peer(mac, ...) changes peer info parameters
- get_peers() returns all peer info tuples
- peers_table supports RSSI signal monitoring for received messages:
{peer1: [rssi, time_ms], peer2: [rssi, time_ms], ...}
ESP8266 is a pared down version of the ESP32 ESPNow support due to code
size restrictions and differences in the low-level API. See docs for
details.
Also included is a test suite in tests/multi_espnow. This tests basic
espnow data transfer, multiple transfers, various message sizes, encrypted
messages (pmk and lmk), and asyncio support.
