The implementation has been mostly copied from the Go reference
implementation with some small changes to fit TinyGo.

In addition, this commit also contains the following:
- A set of tests copied from the Go reflect package.
- An increased stack size for the riscv-qemu and hifive1-qemu targets
(because they otherwise fail to run the tests). Because these
targets are only used for testing, this seems fine to me.
This can be very useful for some purposes:
* It makes it possible to disable the UART in cases where it is not
needed or needs to be disabled to conserve power.
* It makes it possible to disable the serial output to reduce code
size, which may be important for some chips. Sometimes, a few kB can
be saved this way.
* It makes it possible to override the default, for example you might
want to use an actual UART to debug the USB-CDC implementation.
It also lowers the dependency on having machine.Serial defined, which is
often not defined when targeting a chip. Eventually, we might want to
make it possible to write `-target=nrf52` or `-target=atmega328p` for
example to target the chip itself with no board specific assumptions.
The defaults don't change. I checked this by running `make smoketest`
before and after and comparing the results.
