For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).
Otherwise, there is no functional change made by this commit.

By setting MICROPY_EPOCH_IS_1970 a port can opt to use 1970/1/1 as the
Epoch for timestamps returned by stat(). And this setting is enabled on
the unix and windows ports because that's what they use.

On ports like unix where the Epoch is 1970/1/1 and atime/mtime/ctime are in
seconds since the Epoch, this value will overflow a small-int on 32-bit
systems. So far this is only an issue on 32-bit unix builds that use the
VFS layer (eg dev and coverage unix variants) but the fix (using
mp_obj_new_int_from_uint instead of MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT) is there for all
ports so as to not complicate the code, and because they will need the
range one day.
Also apply a similar fix to other fields in VfsPosix.stat because they may
also be large.

This commit adds support for modification time of files on littlefs v2
filesystems, using file attributes. For some background see issue #6114.
Features/properties of this implementation:
- Only supported on littlefs2 (not littlefs1).
- Uses littlefs2's general file attributes to store the timestamp.
- The timestamp is 64-bits and stores nanoseconds since 1970/1/1 (if the
range to the year 2554 is not enough then additional bits can be added to
this timestamp by adding another file attribute).
- mtime is enabled by default but can be disabled in the constructor, eg:
uos.mount(uos.VfsLfs2(bdev, mtime=False), '/flash')
- It's fully backwards compatible, existing littlefs2 filesystems will work
without reformatting and timestamps will be added transparently to
existing files (once they are opened for writing).
- Files without timestamps will open correctly, and stat will just return 0
for their timestamp.
- mtime can be disabled or enabled each mount time and timestamps will only
be updated if mtime is enabled (otherwise they will be untouched).

If the new name start with '/', cur_dir is not prepened any more, so that
the current working directory is respected. And extend the test cases for
rename to cover this functionality.
This change scans for '.', '..' and multiple '/' and normalizes the new
path name. If the resulting path does not exist, an error is raised.
Non-existing interim path elements are ignored if they are removed during
normalization.
This fixes the bug, that stat(filename) would not consider the current
working directory. So if e.g. the cwd is "lib", then stat("main.py") would
return the info for "/main.py" instead of "/lib/main.py".
