Add __assert_func
parsenum: Signedness issues.

char can be signedness, and using signedness types is dangerous - it can
lead to negative offsets when doing table lookups. We apparently should just
ban char usage.
mpconfig.h: Add MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_UNICODE.
py: Add basic unicode functions.
objstrunicode: Complete copy of objstr, to be patched for unicode support.
objstrunicode: Basic implementation of unicode handling.

    Add PEP 393-flags to strings and stub usage.

    The test suite all passes, but nothing has actually been changed.
builtin: ord, chr: Unicode support.
tests: Add unicode test.
lexer, vstr: Add unicode support.
builtin: Restore bytestr compatibility.
vstr: Restore bytestr compatibility.
py: Prune unneeded code from objstrunicode, reuse code in objstr.
py: Make MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_UNICODE=1 buildable.
objstrunicode: Get rid of bytes checking, it's separate type.
objstrunicode: Revamp len() handling for unicode, and optimize bool().
objstrunicode: Re-add buffer protocol back for now, required for io.StringIO.
objstrunicode: Implement iterator.
