gc: Use byte* pointers instead of void* for pointer arithmetic

void* is of unknown size
Merge branch 'gc-pointers' of github.com:stinos/micropython into stinos-gc-pointers
py, gc: Revert ret_ptr to void*, casting to byte* for memset.
Merge branch 'stinos-gc-pointers'
objstr: Be 8-bit clean even for repr().

This will allow roughly the same behavior as Python3 for non-ASCII strings,
for example, print("<phrase in non-Latin script>".split()) will print list
of words, not weird hex dump (like Python2 behaves). (Of course, that it
will print list of words, if there're "words" in that phrase at all, separated
by ASCII-compatible whitespace; that surely won't apply to every human
language in existence).
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.
