This is useful in situations where the ThreadSafeFlag is reused and needs
to be cleared of any previous, unwanted event.
For example, clear the flag at the start of an operation, trigger the
operation (eg an I2C write), then (a)wait for an external event to set the
flag (eg a pin IRQ). Further events may trigger the flag again but these
are unwanted and should be cleared before the next cycle starts.
When a task waits on a ThreadSafeFlag (and the wait method returns), the
flag is immediately reset. This was not clear in the documentation, which
appeared to copy the description of the wait method from the Event class.

With docs and a multi-test using TCP server/client.
This method is a MicroPython extension, although there is discussion of
adding it to CPython: https://bugs.python.org/issue41305

Latest versions of Sphinx (at least 3.1.0) do not need the `*` escaped and
will render the `\` in the output if it is there, so remove it.
Fixes issue #6209.
This commit adds Loop.new_event_loop() which is used to reset the singleton
event loop. This functionality is put here instead of in Loop.close() to
make it possible to write code that is compatible with CPython.
