See github #311https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/311
Should fix weird compiler/linker bugs where config says something is
enabled, but build system says it is disabled.
Particularly noticeable when WiFi/BT libraries fail to
compile/link despite being enabled.
Underlying cause is configuration file regenerating, but component
Makefiles not reevaluating.
Entirely removes the idea that we don't need to generate config for some
targets (like 'clean'). We need valid config for these targets,
otherwise they don't know which files to clean (etc).
fix mbedtls unit tests, fix IDF_VER when building a project outside ESP-IDF tree
- mbedTLS test needs about 5% more time to run (in debug mode) when building with 5.2.0, compared to 4.8.5. Increase the timeout to let the test pass.
- when doing `git describe` in IDF_VER definition, `-C $(IDF_PATH)` is needed to get the version of ESP-IDF, and not the project being built (which may not even be in git)
See merge request !411
build system: add IDF_VER environment variable and preprocessor define
This adds an `IDF_VER` preprocessor define which is obtained from `git describe`.
Looks like `v1.0-275-g0efaa4f` for non-release version or `v2.0` for a tagged (release) version.

C++ support
This change adds necessary support for compiling C++ programs:
- linking against libstdc++
- implementation of static initialization guards using FreeRTOS primitives: since we don't have condition variables at our disposal, and we don't want to allocate a synchronization primitive for every guard variable generated by the compiler, we imitate condition variables using a combination of a mutex, counting semaphore, and a counter (based on [Microsoft Research paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2004/12/ImplementingCVs.pdf), albeit because we don't need *arbitrary* code to use these CVs, implementation gets simpler).
Note that libstdc++ also contains an implementation of `__cxa_guard_{acquire,release,abort}` functions. These implementations come from an `#ifndef GXX_THREADS` branch, i.e. are not aware of multthreading. There are three ways of replacing these libstdc++ functions with our implementation:
1. Move our code into gcc. Pros: cleanest solution. Cons: Such changes are unlikely to be merged by any upstream, so we end up maintaining our own forks of {gcc,crosstool-ng}.
2. Use library as it is built by crosstool, use `ar` to delete one object file (`guards.o`), add this library to ESP-IDF. Pros: easy to implement. Cons: libstdc++ is a 15MB binary 😯
3. Keep using libstdc++ from crosstool, force our implementation to be linked using a `-u` linker flag. Pros: no impact on repo size, easy to implement. Cons: somewhat less clean than 1 (and about as hacky as 2).
For the reasons mentioned, option (3) looks like the best tradeoff.

build system: Linker scripts or binary libraries should trigger a re-link
Add binary libraries and linker scripts to the list of dependencies for the ELF file.
Fixes TW7816.

Flash encryption support
Flash encryption support in build system, tooling
To come in future MR:
* On-device key generation on first boot (for production devices), need to finalise testing of bootloader entropy seeding.
* spi_flash_encrypted_write to support non-32-byte block writes (at least optionally.)
* I think a lot of the bootloader_support component can possibly be rolled into "spiflash" and other components, to use a common API.

SHA acceleration integrated to mbedTLS incl. TLS sessions
Uses hardware SHA acceleration where available, fails over to software where not available.

Integrate unit tests into build system
This MR moves unit tests from esp-idf-tests repository into 'test' subdirectories of respective components.
Tests are run using a runner app in tools/unit-test-app.
This needs a bit of cleanup:
1. remove extra newlines added to makefiles,
2. re-format unit tests code which has tabs
3. write a document on using this test app
4. maybe some refactoring in project.mk
I think 1&2&4 need to be done in this MR, while 3 may be done in a follow-up one.

Build system: Fix a bug with embedding binaries in object files
Sometimes paths were generated absolute, need to keep those as-is
See merge request !228
SHA hardware allows each of SHA1, SHA256, SHA384&SHA512 to calculate digests
concurrently.
Currently incompatible with AES acceleration due to a hardware reset problem.
