Allows bytecode itself to be used instead of an mp_raw_code_t in the simple
and common cases of a bytecode function without any children.
This can be used to further reduce frozen code size, and has the potential
to optimise other areas like importing.

This change makes it so the compiler and persistent code loader take a
mp_compiled_module_t* as their last argument, instead of returning this
struct. This eliminates a duplicate context variable for all callers of
these functions (because the context is now stored in the
mp_compiled_module_t by the caller), and also eliminates any confusion
about which context to use after the mp_compile_to_raw_code or
mp_raw_code_load function returns (because there is now only one context,
that stored in mp_compiled_module_t.context).
Reduces code size by 16 bytes on ARM Cortex-based ports.

This commit adds many new sections to the existing "Developing and building
MicroPython" chapter to make it all about the internals of MicroPython.
