549448e8bb esp32: Enable optimisations and move code to iRAM to boost performance.
This commit enables some significant optimisations for esp32:
- move the VM to iRAM
- move hot parts of the runtime to iRAM (map lookup, load global/name,
  mp_obj_get_type)
- enable MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH
- enable MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE
- disable assertions
- change from -Os to -O2 for compilation

It's hard to measure performance on esp32 due to external flash and
hardware caching.  But this set of changes improves performance compared to
master by (on a TinyPICO with the GENERIC build, using IDF 4.2.2, running
at 160MHz):

Five tests have more than 3x speed up (200%+).

The performance of the tests bm_fft, bm_pidigits and misc_aes now scale
with CPU frequency (eg changing frequency to 240MHz boosts the performance
of these by 50%), which means they are no longer influenced by timing of
external flash access.  (The viper_call* tests did previously scale with
CPU frequency, and they still do.)

Turning off assertions reduces code size by about 80k, and going from -Os
to -O2 costs about 100k, so the net change in code size (for the GENERIC
board) is about +20k.

If a board wants to enable assertions, or use -Os instead of -O2, that's
still possible by overriding the sdkconfig parameters.

bbf9dd849a esp32/boards/sdkconfig.base: Disable MEMPROT_FEATURE to alloc from IRAM.
Dynamically generate/loaded native code (eg from @micropython.native or
native .mpy files) needs to be able allocate from IRAM, and the memory
protection feature must be disabled for that to work.  Disabling it is
needed to get native code working on ESP32-S2 and -C3.

466ad35a72 esp32/boards: Enable size optimisation for builds.
This enables -Os for compilation, but still keeps full assertion messages.
With IDF v4.2, -Os changes the GENERIC firmware size from 1512176 down to
1384640, and the GENERIC_SPIRAM firmware is now 1452320 which fits in the
allocated partition.

9b90882146 esp32: Add support to build using IDF with cmake.
This commit adds support for building the esp32 port with cmake, and in
particular it builds MicroPython as a component within the ESP-IDF.  Using
cmake and the ESP-IDF build infrastructure makes it much easier to maintain
the port, especially with the various new ESP32 MCUs and their required
toolchains.

52d6eeb409 esp32/boards/sdkconfig.base: Set default IDF log level to ERROR.
This commit changes the default logging level on all esp32 boards to ERROR.
The esp32 port is now stable enough that it makes sense to remove the info
logs to make the output cleaner, and to match other ports.  More verbose
logging can always be reenabled via esp.osdebug().

This also fixes issue #6354, error messages from NimBLE: the problem is
that ble.active(True) will cause the IDF's NimBLE port to reset the
"NimBLE" tag back to the default level (which was INFO prior to this
commit).  Even if the user had previously called esp.osdebug(None), because
the IDF is setting the "NimBLE" tag back to the default (INFO), the
messages will continue to be shown.

The one quirk is that if the user does want to see the additional logging,
then they must call esp.osdebug(0, 3) after ble.active(True) to undo the
IDF setting the level back to the default (now ERROR).  This means that
it's impossible (via Python/esp.osdebug) to see stack-startup logging,
you'd have to recompile with the default level changed back to INFO.

71299d3224 esp32/boards/sdkconfig.base: Resize SSL output buffer from 16 to 4kiB.
The IDF heap is more fragmented with IDF 4 and mbedtls cannot allocate
enough RAM with 16+16kiB for both in and out buffers, so reduce output
buffer size.

Fixes issue #5303.

59c1b7d4b8 esp32/boards: Split out CPU frequency config, make 160MHz the default.
Remove the 240MHz CPU config option from sdkconfig.base and create a new
sdkconfig.240mhz file for those boards that want to use 240MHz on boot.

The default CPU frequency is now 160MHz (was 240MHz), to align with the ESP
IDF and support more boards (eg those with D2WD chips).

Fixes issue #5169.

96008ff59a esp32: Support building with ESP IDF 4.0-beta1.
This commit adds support for a second supported hash (currently set to the
4.0-beta1 tag).  When this hash is detected, the relevant changes are
applied.

This allows to start using v4 features (e.g. BLE with Nimble), and also
start doing testing, while still supporting the original, stable, v3.3 IDF.

Note: this feature is experimental, not well tested, and network.LAN and
network.PPP are currently unsupported.

8db517f26d esp32: Add per-board configs, following other ports.
Replaces the `SDKCONFIG` makefile variable with `BOARD`.  Defaults to
BOARD=GENERIC.  spiram can be enabled with `BOARD=GENERIC_SPIRAM`

Add example definition for TINYPICO, currently identical to GENERIC_SPIRAM
but with custom board/SoC names for the uPy banner.
