py/objslice: Add support for indices() method on slice objects.

Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice.  In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length.  Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec.  This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.

It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.

This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
