    Change object representation from 1 big union to individual structs. · d99b0528
    Damien authored
    A big change.  Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
    with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
    is itself an object).  This scheme follows CPython.  Much more flexible,
    not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
    statically.
    
    Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
