MicroPython has quite a few ports now (20 of them), but not all are in the
same stage of development. This commit attempts to define port Tier levels
and assign a Tier to each of the existing ports.
The main aim here is to set expectations for the level of support and
development each port gets. And also lower the bar of entry for new ports
so they can enter at a low Tier and gradually rise up to Tier 1.

This commit adds many new sections to the existing "Developing and building
MicroPython" chapter to make it all about the internals of MicroPython.
This work was done as part of Google's Season of Docs 2020.
