Make sure that MicroPython can access a file after you flush or eject a mass storage device without a board reset.

This brings in the following, and updates us to the 1.0.4 release tag:

Submodule lib/protomatter 2a1ba8fa4..5f07ec618:
  > Bumping version for release
  > Merge pull request adafruit#21 from makermelissa/master
  > Merge pull request adafruit#20 from makermelissa/master
  > Merge pull request adafruit#18 from jepler/fix-cpy-3184
  > Merge pull request adafruit#14 from hierophect/cpy-timer-allocator

We previously had the _changes_ of jepler/fix-cpy-3184 and
hierophect/cpy-timer-allocator but not their merge commits.

The only other changes in protomatter were one formatting change in the
core, plus several Arduino sketches.  So this should make no practical
difference for CPy.

Although the original motivation given for the workaround[1] is correct,
nlr.o and nlrthumb.o are linked with a small enough distance that the
problem does not occur, and the workaround isn't necessary. The distance
between the b instruction and its target (nlr_push_tail) is just 64
bytes[2], well within the ±2046 byte range addressable by an
unconditional branch instruction in Thumb mode.

The workaround induces a relocation in the text section (textrel), which
isn't supported everywhere, notably not on musl-libc[3], where it causes
a crash on start-up. With the workaround removed, micropython works on an
ARMv5T Linux system built with musl-libc.

This commit changes nlrthumb.c to use a direct jump by default, but
leaves the long jump workaround as an option for those cases where it's
actually needed.

    py/nlrthumb: Get working again on standard Thumb arch (ie not Thumb2).

    "b" on Thumb might not be long enough for the jump to nlr_push_tail so
    it must be done indirectly.
