This is a partial implementation of PEP 448 to allow unpacking multiple
star args in a function or method call.
This is implemented by changing the emitted bytecodes so that both
positional args and star args are stored as positional args. A bitmap is
added to indicate if an argument at a given position is a positional
argument or a star arg.
In the generated code, this new bitmap takes the place of the old star arg.
It is stored as a small int, so this means only the first N arguments can
be star args where N is the number of bits in a small int.
The runtime is modified to interpret this new bytecode format while still
trying to perform as few memory reallocations as possible.

This adds the "Not relevant" designation to PEP 486 since it has to do with
the Python Launcher for Windows and not the Python language itself.
Also fix a typo while we are touching this line.

And how they relate to MicroPython. As these features are implemented (or
the decision is made to not implement them) the tables can be updated to
document the differences between MicroPython and standard Python.
