Alessandro Gatti c224e976f7 extmod/modplatform: Expose CPU features/extensions.
This adds the ability to expose CPU-specific features/extensions to
scripts when the `platform` module is compiled in, by implementing
`platform.processor()`.   Right now this is only available on
bare-metal RV32 and RV64.

:mod:`platform` -- access to underlying platforms identifying data
===================================================================
.. module:: platform
:synopsis: access to underlying platforms identifying data
|see_cpython_module| :mod:`python:platform`.
This module tries to retrieve as much platform-identifying data as possible. It
makes this information available via function APIs.
Functions
---------
.. function:: platform()
Returns a string identifying the underlying platform. This string is composed
of several substrings in the following order, delimited by dashes (``-``):
- the name of the platform system (e.g. Unix, Windows or MicroPython)
- the MicroPython version
- the architecture of the platform
- the version of the underlying platform
- the concatenation of the name of the libc that MicroPython is linked to
and its corresponding version.
For example, this could be
``"MicroPython-1.20.0-xtensa-IDFv4.2.4-with-newlib3.0.0"``.
.. function:: python_compiler()
Returns a string identifying the compiler used for compiling MicroPython.
.. function:: libc_ver()
Returns a tuple of strings *(lib, version)*, where *lib* is the name of the
libc that MicroPython is linked to, and *version* the corresponding version
of this libc.
.. function:: processor()
Returns a string with a detailed name of the processor, if one is available.
If no name for the processor is known, it will return an empty string
instead.
This is currently available only on RISC-V targets (both 32 and 64 bits).
