pybricks.common.Motor: Restore duty_limit behavior.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is an alternate way to use temporary limits in pbio (no nlr buf)
but without a breaking change in the definition of duty limit or stall.

See pybricks/support#1069

### Changed
- Updated MicroPython to v1.20.0.
- Changed `duty_limit` argument of `Motor.run_until_stalled` to `torque_limit`.
The original name continues to work as well.

### Fixed
- Fixed stdin containing `0x06` command byte ([support#1052]).
