NimBLE: Use dynamic buffers instead of static memory.

The NimBLE host buffers that consume a significant amount of memory are
now allocated dynamically.
The advantage is that, the memory can be reclaimed in cases where BLE
is turned off and not required for the current boot cycle

choice BT_NIMBLE_MEM_ALLOC_MODE
prompt "Memory allocation strategy"
default BT_NIMBLE_MEM_ALLOC_MODE_INTERNAL
help
Allocation strategy for NimBLE host stack, essentially provides ability to
allocate all required dynamic allocations from,
- Internal DRAM memory only
- External SPIRAM memory only
- Either internal or external memory based on default malloc()
behavior in ESP-IDF
Recommended mode here is always internal, since that is most preferred
from security perspective. But if application requirement does not
allow sufficient free internal memory then alternate mode can be
selected.
