Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

PPP support was disabled in 96008ff59a -
marked as "unsupported" due to an early IDF v4 release. With the currently
supported IDF v4.x version - 4c81978a - it appears to be working just fine.
This commit adds support for a second supported hash (currently set to the
4.0-beta1 tag). When this hash is detected, the relevant changes are
applied.
This allows to start using v4 features (e.g. BLE with Nimble), and also
start doing testing, while still supporting the original, stable, v3.3 IDF.
Note: this feature is experimental, not well tested, and network.LAN and
network.PPP are currently unsupported.
This commit adds the connect() method to the PPP interface and requires
that connect() be called after active(1). This is a breaking change for
the PPP API.
With the connect() method it's now possible to pass in authentication
information for PAP/CHAP, eg:
ppp.active(1)
ppp.connect(authmode=ppp.AUTH_PAP, username="user", "password="password")
If no authentication is needed simply call connect() without any
parameters. This will get the original behaviour of calling active(1).
On this port the GIL is enabled and everything works under the assumption
of the GIL, ie that a given task has exclusive access to the uPy state, and
any ISRs interrupt the current task and therefore the ISR inherits
exclusive access to the uPy state for the duration of its execution.
If the MicroPython tasks are not pinned to a specific core then an ISR may
be executed on a different core to the task, making it possible for the
main task and an ISR to execute in parallel, breaking the assumption of the
GIL.
The easiest and safest fix for this is to pin all MicroPython related code
to the same CPU core, as done by this patch. Then any ISR that accesses
MicroPython state must be registered from a MicroPython task, to ensure it
is invoked on the same core.
See issue #4895.
Without this you often don't get any DNS server from your network provider.
Additionally, setting your own DNS _does not work_ without this option set
(which could be a bug in the PPP stack).
This also fixes deleting the PPP task, since eTaskGetState() never returns
eDeleted.
A limitation with this patch: once the PPP is deactivated (ppp.active(0))
it cannot be used again. A new PPP instance must be created instead.
Configuration for the build is now specified using sdkconfig rather than
sdkconfig.h, which allows for much easier configuration with defaults from
the ESP IDF automatically applied. sdkconfig.h is generated using the new
ESP IDF kconfig_new tool written in Python. Custom configuration for a
particular ESP32 board can be specified via the make variable SDKCONFIG.
The esp32.common.ld file is also now generated using the standard ESP IDF
ldgen.py tool.
