Damien George ccc5935234 alif: Add initial port to Alif Ensemble MCUs.
This commit adds the beginning of a new alif port with support for Alif
Ensemble MCUs.  See https://alifsemi.com/

Supported features of this port added by this commit:
- UART REPL.
- TinyUSB support, for REPL and MSC.
- Octal SPI flash support, for filesystem.
- machine.Pin support.

General notes about the port:
- It uses make, similar to other bare-metal ports here.
- The toolchain is the standard arm-none-eabi- toolchain.
- Flashing a board can be done using either the built-in serial bootloader,
  or JLink (both supported here).
- There are two required submodules (one for drivers/SDK, one for security
  tools), both of which are open source and on GitHub.
- No special hardware or software is needed for development, just a board
  connected over USB.

OpenMV have generously sponsored the development of this port.

======================================
This is a port of MicroPython to the Alif Ensemble series of microcontrollers.
Initial development of this Alif port was sponsored by OpenMV LLC.
Features currently supported:
- UART REPL.
- TinyUSB with CDC and MSC device support.
- Octal SPI flash with XIP mode.
- machine.Pin support with named pins.
- machine.UART, machine.SPI, machine.I2C, machine.RTC peripherals.
- WiFi and Bluetooth using cyw43.
- Dual core support of the HE and HP cores using Open-AMP.
- Low power modes.
The following more advanced features will follow later:
- Ethernet support.
- SDRAM support.
- Other machine modules.
