To simplify config, there's no need to specify MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN if it's
the same as the default definition in py/mpconfig.h.

This commit makes all functions and function wrappers in modubinascii.c
STATIC and conditional on the MICROPY_PY_UBINASCII setting, which will
exclude the file from qstr/ compressed-string searching when ubinascii is
not enabled. The now-unused modubinascii.h header file is also removed.
The cc3200 port is updated accordingly to use this module in its entirety
instead of providing its own top-level definition of ubinascii.
This was originally like this because the cc3200 port has its own ubinascii
module which referenced these methods. The plan appeared to be that the
API might diverge (e.g. hardware crc), but this should be done similar to
I2C/SPI via a port-specific handler, rather than the port having its own
definition of the module. Having a centralised module definition also
enforces consistency of the API among ports.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".
See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
