This port is largely unmaintained, has limited features (the only hardware
support is for GPIO and timer, and no machine module), only supports a
small number of Teensy boards, and can be confused with the mimxrt support
for Teensy 4.x.

Changes are:
- Remove unix- and stm32-specific sections (move unix to its own
README.md), stm32 was duplicated.
- Add links to GitHub Discussions and Discord.
- Update information about the project.
- Add a getting started section.
- Explain `make submodules`.

The separate A and RM toolchains have been discontinued and replaced
by a single toolchain. This updates the links to the RM toolchain to
the new toolchain.

This change makes it so that python3 is required by default to build
MicroPython. Python 2 can be used by specifying make PYTHON=python2.
This comes about due to a recent-ish change to PEP 394 that makes the
python command more optional than before (even with Python 2 installed);
see cd59ec03c8 (diff-1d22f7bd72cbc900670f058b1107d426)
Since the command python is no longer required to be provided by a
distribution we need to use either python2 or python3 as commands. And
python3 seems the obvious choice.
Given that various ports now require submodules, rewrite the section
to be more generic.
Also, add git submodule update command to other sections for easy user
start.
tools/pydfu.py is now the recommended way of deploying a DFU file. Old
behaviour of dfu-util can be obtained by passing USE_PYDFU=0 when invoking
make.
The main README.md file has been updated to reflect this change.
unix-cpy was originally written to get semantic equivalent with CPython
without writing functional tests. When writing the initial
implementation of uPy it was a long way between lexer and functional
tests, so the half-way test was to make sure that the bytecode was
correct. The idea was that if the uPy bytecode matched CPython 1-1 then
uPy would be proper Python if the bytecodes acted correctly. And having
matching bytecode meant that it was less likely to miss some deep
subtlety in the Python semantics that would require an architectural
change later on.
But that is all history and it no longer makes sense to retain the
ability to output CPython bytecode, because:
1. It outputs CPython 3.3 compatible bytecode. CPython's bytecode
changes from version to version, and seems to have changed quite a bit
in 3.5. There's no point in changing the bytecode output to match
CPython anymore.
2. uPy and CPy do different optimisations to the bytecode which makes it
harder to match.
3. The bytecode tests are not run. They were never part of Travis and
are not run locally anymore.
4. The EMIT_CPYTHON option needs a lot of extra source code which adds
heaps of noise, especially in compile.c.
5. Now that there is an extensive test suite (which tests functionality)
there is no need to match the bytecode. Some very subtle behaviour is
tested with the test suite and passing these tests is a much better
way to stay Python-language compliant, rather than trying to match
CPy bytecode.
