      py/persistentcode: Add a qstr window to save mpy files more efficiently. · 5996eeb4
      Damien George authored
      This is an implementation of a sliding qstr window used to reduce the
      number of qstrs stored in a .mpy file.  The window size is configured to 32
      entries which takes a fixed 64 bytes (16-bits each) on the C stack when
      loading/saving a .mpy file.  It allows to remember the most recent 32 qstrs
      so they don't need to be stored again in the .mpy file.  The qstr window
      uses a simple least-recently-used mechanism to discard the least recently
      used qstr when the window overflows (similar to dictionary compression).
      This scheme only needs a single pass to save/load the .mpy file.
      
      Reduces mpy file size by about 25% with a window size of 32.
