This provides a way to enable features and changes slated for MicroPython
2.x, by running `make MICROPY_PREVIEW_VERSION_2=1`. Also supported for
the cmake ports (except Zephyr).
This is an alternative to having a 2.x development branch (or equivalently,
keeping a 1.x release branch). Any feature or change that needs to be
"hidden" until 2.x can use this flag (either in the Makefile or the
preprocessor).
A good example is changing function arguments or other public API features,
in particular to aid in improving consistency between ports.
When `MICROPY_PREVIEW_VERSION_2` is enabled, the REPL banner is amended to
say "MicroPython (with v2.0 preview) vX.Y.Z", and sys.implementation gets a
new field `_v2` set to `True`.
