This commit adds preliminary support for ST's new STM32N6xx MCUs.
Supported features of this MCU so far are:
- basic clock tree initialisation, running at 800MHz
- fully working USB
- XSPI in memory-mapped mode
- machine.Pin
- machine.UART
- RTC and deepsleep support
- SD card
- filesystem
- ROMFS
- WiFi and BLE via cyw43-driver (SDIO backend)
Note that the N6 does not have internal flash, and has some tricky boot
sequence, so using a custom bootloader (mboot) is almost a necessity.

The H7 has a hardware UART FIFO, so it's worth enabling it, to reduce the
chance of missed incoming characters. Note that `HAL_UART_Init(&huart)`
does not activate the FIFO, it must be done explicitly by calling
`HAL_UARTEx_EnableFifoMode(&huart)`.

The vendor and product fields in the `board.json` files were somewhat
inconsistent. Remove any duplication of the vendor name in the product
field so that `f"{vendor} {product}"` reads well.
In addition to that, update most of the URL's for `board.json` files that
are modified here, and match case and spacing used by the manufacturers for
the vendor and product names.

Adding a QSPI memory chip on a STM32G4 does not work due to some small
issues, which are fixed in this commit:
- Rename QUADSPI1_xxx alt-func names to QUADSPI_xxx, to match the static
names used in `qspi.c`.
- Enable `mpu.h` macros on G4.
- Don't include I- and D-cache invalidation on G4.

There are some newer PYBD_SF6 being produced which have a larger flash,
namely two of 8MiB (instead of the older ones with two of 2MiB).
This commit adds support for these boards. The idea is to have the same
PYBD_SF6 firmware run on both old and new boards. That means autodetecting
the flash at start-up and configuring all the relevant SPI/QSPI parameters,
including for ROMFS and mboot.

The PYBD boards use an F7xx which has an errata 2.4.3:
Memory-mapped read operations may fail when timeout counter is enabled
This is unfortunate because it means that once QSPI memory-mapped flash is
accessed the QSPI peripheral will leave the CS pin active (low) forever,
which increases power consumption of the SPI flash chip (because it's
active and waiting for commands). The exact amount of power increase
depends on the flash, but the PYBD_SFx increase by about 2.5mA.
Previously this increase in power only happened when QSPI flash was needed,
eg on PYBD_SF2 when mbedtls or nimble libraries were used. On PYBD_SF6
it's actually never used.
But with the introduction of ROMFS which lives in the QSPI flash, the
memory is always access on start up to see if the ROMFS contains a valid
image (it must read the memory to find out). That means these boards
always consume about 2.5mA more after starting up (compared to when ROMFS
is disabled).
The fix in this commit is to explicitly restart the QSPI memory mapped mode
during the start up process. More precisely, the restart is done after
querying the ROMFS and just before trying to execute `boot.py`. That's the
right location to keep power consumption permanently down if the QSPI is
never used (eg ROMFS image doesn't exist).

Change ROMFS partition configuration variables to use index 0 as the
starting partition number (instead of index 1).
Reasons to do this:
- `vfs.rom_ioctl()` numbers the partitions starting from 0
- `mpremote romfs -p <partition id>` numbers the partitions starting from 0

Previously micros with the 'FDCAN' peripheral (as opposed to the older
'CAN' peripheral) needed to rename these pins in the CSVs for the CAN
driver to work.
The following CSVs in MicroPython still had FDCAN in them:
$ rg -t csv -l FDCAN boards
boards/stm32h7b3_af.csv
boards/stm32h743_af.csv
boards/stm32h573_af.csv
boards/stm32h723_af.csv
boards/stm32g0b1_af.csv
Confirmed that this allows CAN to work on NUCLEO_H723ZG board, and that at
least one board based on each of the other chips can still compile. Some of
these boards could possibly have MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_CAN set and work, now.

Since the very beginning, the stm32 port (first called stm, then stmhal now
stm32) has had a special keyboard interrupt feature which works by using
PendSV to break out of any running code. This preemptive ctrl-C was added
long ago in commit 01156d510c.
The stm32 port still uses that code, and current does this:
- If ctrl-C is received on UART or USB then `mp_sched_keyboard_interrupt()`
is called (like all other ports) to set a flag for the VM to see, and
then the VM (or any loop calling `mp_handle_pending(true)`) will
eventually handle the `KeyboardInterrupt` exception, raising it via NLR.
- If another ctrl-C is received while the existing scheduled keyboard
interrupt is still pending (ie the VM has not yet processed it) then a
special hard NLR jump will activate, that preempts the calling code.
Within the PendSV interrupt the stack is adjusted and an NLR jump is made
to the most recent `nlr_push()` location. This is like a normal NLR
except it is called from an interrupt context and completely annihilates
the code that was interrupted by the IRQ.
The reason for the preemptive interrupt was to handle ctrl-C before the VM
was able to handle it. Eventually a mechanism (that's in use today by all
ports) was added to the VM and runtime to be able to check for pending
interrupts. Then the stm32 port was updated to use this mechanism, with a
fallback to the old preemptive way if a second ctrl-C was received (without
the first one being processed).
This preemptive NLR jump is problematic because it can interrupt
long-running instructions (eg store multiple, usually used at the end of a
function to restore registers and return). If such an instruction is
interrupted the CPU remembers that with some flags, and can resume the
long-running instruction when the interrupt finishes. But the preemptive
NLR does a long jump to different code at thread level and so the
long-running interrupt is never resumed. This leads to a CPU fault.
This fault has been previously reported in issues #3807 and #3842 (see also
issue #294). It's now possible to easily reproduce this problem, since
commit 69c25ea865. Running the test suite
over and over again on any stm32 board will eventually crash the board (it
can happen on a PYBv1.x, but it happens more regularly on PYBD-SF2/6).
The point is, a skipped test now soft resets the board and so the board
must run `boot.py` again. The test runner may then interrupt the execution
of `boot.py` with the double-ctrl-C that it sends (in `tools/pyboard.py`,
`enter_raw_repl()`) in order to get the board into a known good state for
the next test. If the timing is right, this can trigger the preemptive
PendSV in an unfortunate location and hard fault the board.
The fix in this commit is to just remove the preemptive NLR jump feature.
No other port has this feature and it's not needed, ctrl-C works very well
on those ports. Preemptive NLR jump is a very dangerous thing (eg it may
interrupt and break out of an external SPI flash operation when reading
code from a filesystem) and is obviously buggy.
With this commit, stm32 borads no longer hard fault when running the test
suite (but it does leave an issue, the tests can still interrupt `boot.py`
with a single ctrl-C; that will be fixed separately).
An alternative to this commit would be to clear the CPU state for the
long-running instruction as suggested in issue #3842. But it's much
simpler to just remove this code, which is now unnecessary and can have
other problems as per issue #294.

Swap FMC banks to remap the SDRAM bank1 address to 0x60000000. Arduino's
M4 firmware uses address 0x60000000 by default. When the elf loader tries
to load that it will fail because by default NOR/PSRAM is mapped at that
address, not SDRAM bank1. (Note that the region at 0xC0000000 has an XN
attribute by default, so switching the M4 firmware address will not work.)
