Previously, this was subject to races incrementing/decrementing
the counter variable pendsv_lock.
Technically, all that's needed here would be to make pendsv_lock an atomic
counter.
This implementation fulfils a stronger guarantee: it also provides mutual
exclusion for the core which calls pendsv_suspend(). This is because the
current use of pendsv_suspend/resume in MicroPython is to ensure exclusive
access to softtimer data structures, and this does require mutual
exclusion.
The conceptually cleaner implementation would split the mutual exclusion
part out into a softtimer-specific spinlock, but this increases the
complexity and doesn't seem like it makes for a better implementation in
the long run.

This includes:
- Configuration file for the cyw43-driver.
- Integration of cyw43-driver into the build, using lwIP.
- Enhancements to machine.Pin to support extension IO pins provided by the
CYW43xx.
- More mp-hal pin helper functions.
- mp_hal_get_mac_ascii MAC address helper function.
- Addition of rp2.country() function to set the country code.
A board can enable this driver by setting MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_CYW43 in their
cmake snippet.

It is more reliable and scales better when more components need it.
