This merges the existing GENERIC, GENERIC_1M, and GENERIC_512k boards
into variants of the new ESP8266_GENERIC board (renamed from GENERIC so
as not to clash with other ports).
Also moves the generation of the "OTA" variant (previously generated by
autobuild/build-esp8266-latest.sh) into the variant.
Following the convention established for the WEACTSTUDIO rp2 board, the
names of the variants are FLASH_1M and FLASH_512K (but rename the .ld files
to use MiB and kiB).
Updates autobuild to build esp8266 firmware the same way as other ports.
This requires renaming the output from firmware-combined.bin to just
firmware.bin.

The existing non-Docker instructions are basically impossible to follow
because the esp-open-sdk does not compile. Update these instructions to
use the exact toolchain that our CI uses.
Also split the Docker from non-Docker instructions, to avoid confusion
about which commands need to be prefixed.

The specific board can be selected with the BOARD makefile variable. This
defaults (if not specified) to BOARD=GENERIC, which is the original default
firmware build. For the 512k target use BOARD=GENERIC_512K.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
