If mpy-cross exits with an error be sure to print that error in a way that
is readable, instead of a long bytes object.

This adds support for freezing an entire directory while keeping the
directory as part of the import path. For example
freeze("path/to/library", "module")
will recursively freeze all scripts in "path/to/library/module" and have
them importable as "from module import ...".

When using a manifest on Windows the reference to mpy-cross compiler was
missing the .exe file extension, so add it when appropriate.
Also allow the default path to mpy-cross to be overridden by the (optional)
MICROPY_MPYCROSS environment variable, to allow full flexibility on any OS.
While the new manifest.py style got introduced for freezing python code
into the resulting binary, the old way - where files and modules within
ports/*/modules where baked into the resulting binary - was still
supported via `freeze('$(PORT_DIR)/modules')` within manifest.py.
However behaviour changed for symlinked directories (=modules), as those
links weren't followed anymore.
This commit restores the original behaviour by explicitly following
symlinks within a modules/ directory
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
This introduces a new build variable FROZEN_MANIFEST which can be set to a
manifest listing (written in Python) that describes the set of files to be
frozen in to the firmware.
