py: Add port-agnostic inline functions for event handling.

These are intended to replace MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK and
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK_FAST, which are insufficient for tickless ports.

This implementation is along the lines suggested here:
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/12925#issuecomment-1803038430

Currently any usage of these functions expands to use the existing hook
macros, but this can be switched over port by port.

This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.
