mcs48: add reset method, make A12 optional, unassorted adjustment
Add the reset() method which recently has become essential. Make the A12
"memory bank" address line optional. Use more Python idioms. Update
comments.
The control signals had to move, to avoid gaps between D7 and A8 as well
as between A11 and A12 in the GUI decoder properties dialog. With
dynamic assignment in the UI and with named references in the CLI this
shall not harm. Unmodified automated tests still pass.
The logic is prepared to handle data, address, and "bank" pin groups at
arbitrary locations, A[11:8] and D[7:0] need not be adjacent any longer.
Support for more than one memory bank pin is prepared, but the number of
bank pins needs to get determined at the start of decode(), when this

Acquire/release the Python GIL where needed to avoid threading issues.
With these additions, frontends can now call libsigrokdecode API
functions from different threads without running into threading issues.
The backend releases the GIL when it is performing tasks that might take
a while and it doesn't need to run Python/C API calls during that time.
This allows frontends to run multiple PD stacks (in multiple frontend
threads) "at the same time" in a time-sharing, "interlocked" manner.
Whenever one of the decoders is inside e.g. self.wait() it releases the
GIL and thus allows other decoders to do some work in the mean time.
The user-visible effect is that for use-cases such as running 3 different
decoder stacks at the same time for an acquisition, the user will not
have to wait for PD 1 to finish decoding, then wait for PD 2 to finish
decoding, and only *then* being able to see annotations from PD 3.
Instead, all three PDs will decode some chunks of data from time to
time, thus the user is able to inspect annotations from all 3 PDs while
the acquisition and decoding is still going on.
