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.)

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.
