This commit adds support for multiple NVS partitions. This provides application a flexibility to have multiple NVS
partitions such as separate partition with read-only manufacturing data and read-write partition with configuration.
Application can also use this to separate out application's configuration storage from system configuration.
This feature does not change any of the basic property of NVS subsystem. The same-named namespaces across partitions are
considered to be different namespaces. The original NVS API available for the applications remains unchanged. The only
difference is that instead of first NVS partition in the partition table, it now operates on the partition with label
"nvs" (which is default in the IDF provided partition table files). Additional APIs are provided to open a handle and
erase NVS with partition name as a parameter.
A test case is added in the host tests and it is made sure that all the host tests pass. nvs_rw_value app is also tested
with multiple partitions.

NVS is used to store PHY calibration data, WiFi configuration, and BT
configuration. Previously BT examples did not call nvs_flash_init,
relying on the fact that it is called during PHY init. However PHY init
did not handle possible NVS initialization errors.
This change moves PHY init procedure into the application, and adds
diagnostic messages to BT config management routines if NVS is not
initialized.
This change adds a check for the free page count to nvs_flash_init.
Under normal operation, NVS keeps at least one free page available,
except for transient states such as freeing up new page. Due to external
factors (such as NVS partition size reduction) this free page could be
lost, making NVS operation impossible. Previously this would cause an
error when performing any nvs_set operation or opening a new namespace.
With this change, an error is returned from nvs_flash_init to indicate
that NVS partition is in such a state.
