Search-and-replace considered harmful. I completely missed the need to
explicitly declare "fast" tag functions (__xyz) in the mask field to
LROT_BEGIN()/LROT_END() when I brought over the 5.1+5.3 support.
Without those flags set properly, the LVM doesn't even bother going
looking for those methods, which in this case led to garbage collection
not calling the __gc functions, among other horrible things.
Mea culpa.
Changes have been kept to a minimum, but a serious chunk of work was
needed to move from 8266isms to IDFisms.
Some things got refactored into components/lua/common, in particular
the LFS location awareness.
As part of this work I also evicted our partition table manipulation
code, as with the current IDF it kept breaking checksums and rendering
things unbootable, which is the opposite of helpful (which was the
original intent behind it).
The uart module got relocated from base_nodemcu to the modules component
properly, after I worked out how to force its inclusion using Kconfig alone.
* Leaner, meaner crypto module; now with HMAC
Based on my testing, mbedtls pulls in all its algorithm regardless of
whether the NodeMCU crypto module was using them or not. As such, the
space savings from omitting algorithms were only in the tens of bytes.
By switching to using the mbedtls generic message digest interface, the
crypto module itself could be shrunk in size and complexity. Despite
adding support for HMAC on all algorithms (plus including RIPEMD160),
this version is 330 bytes smaller.
* Updated crypto module docs.
* Removed superfluous brackets in crypto docs.
