This was used to override the firmware filename generated by the build
server (to match the historical name before board definitions existed).
Now we're making everything use the board definition name (i.e. the
directory name).

This commit:
- Finds a common set of board feature tags and maps existing features to
that reduced set.
- Removes some less-useful board feature tags.
- Ensures all MCUs are specified correctly.
- Ensures all boards have a vendor (and fixes some vendor names).
This is to make the downloads page show a less intimidating set of filters.
Work done in conjunction with Matt Trentini <matt.trentini@gmail.com>.

This will be used by https://micropython.org/download/ to generate the
full listing of boards and firmware files.
Optionally supports a board.md for additional customisation of the
download page, as well as deploy.md for flashing instructions.

Entering a bootloader (ST system bootloader, or custom mboot) from software
by directly branching to it is not reliable, and the reliability of it
working can depend on the peripherals that were enabled by the application
code. It's also not possible to branch to a bootloader if the WDT is
enabled (unless the bootloader has specific provisions to feed the WDT).
This patch changes the way a bootloader is entered from software by first
doing a complete system reset, then branching to the desired bootloader
early on in the start-up process. The top two words of RAM (of the stack)
are reserved to store flags indicating that the bootloader should be
entered after a reset.
Previously the end of the heap was the start (lowest address) of the stack.
With the changes in this commit these addresses are now independent,
allowing a board to place the heap and stack in separate locations.
