- Add the function esptool_py_flash_to_partition to flash a binary
image to a named partition. If encryption is enabled, this function
will also determine if the partition needs to be encrypted or not
according the its type, subtype and flag in the CSV file (if any).
- Use idf.py encrypted-flash will now flash both encrypted and
non-encrypted file if any (spiffs for example) using esptool.py's
--encrypt-files option.

Previous versions of PartitionType only required type and subtype as
arguments for the constructor. Make the new part_list argument optional to
keep backwards compatibilty
A manufactory tool needs to retrieve info about partitions. With a new flag - "--part_list" we can get a list of partitions with the same type/subtype and easily iterate by it.
- name and flag arguments
- added flag "--part_list" to get a list of partitions with the same type/subtype
- save prev behavior of the get_partition_info command (return the only first item)
- added host test
Previous version used exception handling for program control flow,
which makes for long and confusing backtrace messages if an error
occurs while parsing the CSV (as it also prints the phony error that
occurred while trying to parse as a binary, then prints
"During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:",
then prints the real error).
Use the same heuristic that is applied in gen_esp32_part, instead.
Also, avoid printing the entire backtrace if the error is a gen_esp32_part
InputError, same as gen_esp32part does.
Found while looking into https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/4474
Allows you to move the partition table, it gives more space for the bootloader.
Added a new utility - parttool.py. This utility can search for the offset and/or size of the partitions by name and type/subtype. Use for getting APP_OFFSET and PHY_DATA_OFFSET.
The linker(esp32.bootloader.ld) made changes that allow you to write a custom bootloader code more.
