A problem if the Python interpreter used for idf.py (or set via PYTHON
variable) didn't match
"/usr/bin/env python" (or the associated executable for .py files, on
Windows).
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/3160
Possibly also fix for https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/2936
Adds build system test to catch any future direct execution of Python in
the standard build process.
* Call esptool directly not via subprocess
* Use the same serial port instance for listener thread and esptool
* Includes some refactoring for encapsulation of App vs DUT members
Because address space is mapped in 64KB pages, it was possible for unauthenticated data after the
app .bin to become mapped into the flash cache address space.
This problem is solved by 2 changes:
* "esptool elf2image --secure-pad" will pad the image so that the signature block ends close to the
64KB boundary. Due to alignment constraints it will be 12 bytes too short after signing (but
with flash encryption, these 12 bytes are still encrypted as part of the last block and can't be
arbitrarily changed).
* By default, secure boot now requires all app partitions to be a multiple of 64KB in size.
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.

Fix warnings where undefined vars are used.
Make Kconfig emit "FOO=" for unset bool options
To ensure make variables are always defined, even if empty.
When writing auto.conf, include symbols disabled by dependency to make sure all make variables are always defined.

Cherry-picked from https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/pull/138
Makes app image booting more reliable (256-bit rather than 8-bit verification.)
Some measurements, time to boot a 655KB app.bin file and run to app_main() execution.
(All for rev 1 silicon, ie no 340ms spurious WDT delay.)
80MHz QIO mode:
before = 300ms
after = 140ms
40MHz DIO mode:
before = 712ms
after = 577ms
40MHz DIO mode, secure boot enabled
before = 1380ms
after = 934ms
(Secure boot involves two ECC signature verifications (partition table, app) that take approx 300ms each with 80MHz CPU.)
