It has been about 8 years since support for this chip was added. Reasons
to remove it are:
- It is no longer easy to obtain this part.
- There are now many other options for WiFi.
- It's not a good use of developer time to maintain it.

This commit adds support to stm32's mboot for signe, encrypted and
compressed DFU updates. It is based on inital work done by Andrew Leech.
The feature is enabled by setting MBOOT_ENABLE_PACKING to 1 in the board's
mpconfigboard.mk file, and by providing a header file in the board folder
(usually called mboot_keys.h) with a set of signing and encryption keys
(which can be generated by mboot_pack_dfu.py). The signing and encryption
is provided by libhydrogen. Compression is provided by uzlib. Enabling
packing costs about 3k of flash.
The included mboot_pack_dfu.py script converts a .dfu file to a .pack.dfu
file which can be subsequently deployed to a board with mboot in packing
mode. This .pack.dfu file is created as follows:
- the firmware from the original .dfu is split into chunks (so the
decryption can fit in RAM)
- each chunk is compressed, encrypted, a header added, then signed
- a special final chunk is added with a signature of the entire firmware
- all chunks are concatenated to make the final .pack.dfu file
The .pack.dfu file can be deployed over USB or from the internal filesystem
on the device (if MBOOT_FSLOAD is enabled).
See #5267 and #5309 for additional discussion.

This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it. It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a
central place in extmod/extmod.mk.
For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile. This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.
Which Wiznet chip to use is a compile-time option: MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K
should be set to either 5200 or 5500 to support either one of these
Ethernet chips. The driver is called network.WIZNET5K in both cases.
Note that this commit introduces a breaking-change at the build level
because previously the valid values for MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K were 0 and 1
but now they are 0, 5200 and 5500.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
