SPI flash operations lock for shorter periods
Based on bug report here:
https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1489&p=6816#p6773
Long SPI flash erase (and possibly write/read) cycles block all tasks on both CPUs for an extended period, and can lead to WiFi dissassociation (and general priority inversion.)
This MR inserts preemption breaks into large operations (all erases, writes every 8KB, reads every 16KB).
Overhead of a single spi_flash_guart_start()/spi_flash_guard_end() cycle measured at approx 67us (assuming no preemption.)

CI support for testing & deploying release tags & branches
For CI testing & deployment of release branches:
* Test release tags as well as branches
* Swap gitlab submodule URLs to github when testing release tags or branches.
These changes are already pushed to the release/v2.0 branch.

ci: allow passing Hub account or registry name from the environment
This change allows to set registry name or Hub account name using CI Variables. Needs all runners to be updated to gitlab-ci-runner v1.8+ in order for the auth feature to work.

Error handling in NVS initialization
Previously nvs_flash_init worked under an assumption that there should always be at least one free page available. This is true during normal operation, but in some cases (such as when changing application partition table from a non-OTA to an OTA one), NVS partition may get truncated, which will cause empty pages to be lost.
This MR adds error checks for this condition, and updates code which calls `nvs_flash_init` to check for the return code.
For most examples, a simple `ESP_ERROR_CHECK` is added around `nvs_flash_init`. For NVS examples and the OTA example, more robust error handling is added.
This change also removes nvs_flash_init calls from examples which don't use NVS.

idf_monitor: Small fixes (baud rate, EOL, /dev/tty.X on macOS, Ctrl-T on failure)
* "make monitor" now passed the configured baud rate.
Closes#436https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/436
* Pass toolchain prefix from sdkconfig into monitor tool
* Allow setting EOL in idf_monitor.py, use CRLF by default
* Detect if /dev/tty.X is used on macOS, warn and replace with /dev/cu.X
* If a build fails or gdb exits, ignore Ctrl-T (allowing Ctrl-T Ctrl-A/F to be same key sequence everywhere)
* Add a note about winpty on Windows.
Ref 02fdf8271d (commitcomment-21369196)
* Fix problems with Console.cancel() not existing in older pyserial
* Print more user-friendly symbols for "start of iram" and "start of flash"
