build system: Fix sdkconfig.defaults file preventing menuconfig changes
'make defconfig' now behaves similarly whether sdkconfig.defaults
is present or not, and 'make menuconfig' doesn't trigger a defconfig.

bootloader: export ets_update_cpu_frequency
MR !363 added linking librtc into bootloader. At the same time, MR !373 removed ets_update_cpu_frequency from ROM exports ld script, and replaced it with a dual CPU aware version. Combining these two MRs caused linker error in bootloader due to the unresolved `ets_update_cpu_frequency`.
One option to fix this is to move the definition of ets_update_cpu_frequency into bootloader_support component. This does however look a bit odd because this function is not something that is specifically needed for bootloader support.
Another option is to export the ROM version of ets_update_cpu_frequency for the bootloader only. This means that when bootloader changes CPU frequency, it only updates the tick period variable for PRO CPU. This isn't an issue though, because app startup code still calls the dual CPU aware version of ets_update_cpu_frequency early on, before any non-trivial code can run on the APP cpu.
This MR uses the second approach. Looking forward, we may move this definition of ets_update_cpu_frequency into the rtc_clk component, which will be used both by the bootloader and the app, and placing ets_update_cpu_frequency there would be logical.

SDMMC peripheral driver, SD protocol driver, FATFS library, VFS integration
This MR contains:
- SDMMC host peripheral driver
- SD protocol driver in sdmmc component (can be extended to support MMC/eMMC and SPI based hosts)
- ChaN's FATFS library v0.12b
- VFS integration
- FAT access via VFS is thread-safe (unless same file is read/written/unlinked/renamed from different tasks)
- Support for POSIX directory-related functions in VFS (and in vfs_fatfs.c)
- unit test for the above
- Example
- API documentation
Will be done in other MRs:
- Support for spi_flash IO driver for FatFs
- SPI host driver and support for SPI mode commands in sdmmc component
- MMC/eMMC support in sdmmc component
- Support for slightly higher 53/26.6MHz clocks (currently I'm using 20MHz for DS and 40MHz for HS, instead of 25MHz/50MHz per standard), and arbitrary low clocks (e.g. 4MHz).

C++ support
This change adds necessary support for compiling C++ programs:
- linking against libstdc++
- implementation of static initialization guards using FreeRTOS primitives: since we don't have condition variables at our disposal, and we don't want to allocate a synchronization primitive for every guard variable generated by the compiler, we imitate condition variables using a combination of a mutex, counting semaphore, and a counter (based on [Microsoft Research paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2004/12/ImplementingCVs.pdf), albeit because we don't need *arbitrary* code to use these CVs, implementation gets simpler).
Note that libstdc++ also contains an implementation of `__cxa_guard_{acquire,release,abort}` functions. These implementations come from an `#ifndef GXX_THREADS` branch, i.e. are not aware of multthreading. There are three ways of replacing these libstdc++ functions with our implementation:
1. Move our code into gcc. Pros: cleanest solution. Cons: Such changes are unlikely to be merged by any upstream, so we end up maintaining our own forks of {gcc,crosstool-ng}.
2. Use library as it is built by crosstool, use `ar` to delete one object file (`guards.o`), add this library to ESP-IDF. Pros: easy to implement. Cons: libstdc++ is a 15MB binary 😯
3. Keep using libstdc++ from crosstool, force our implementation to be linked using a `-u` linker flag. Pros: no impact on repo size, easy to implement. Cons: somewhat less clean than 1 (and about as hacky as 2).
For the reasons mentioned, option (3) looks like the best tradeoff.

Enable bootloader entropy source for RNG
Enables an entropy source when bootloader starts up, which both seeds the RNG for use before WiFi/BT stack is enabled and provides an adequate RNG for secure boot & flash encryption key generation.
A prerequisite was enabling 80MHz operation, so the CPU is now set to 80MHz as soon as second stage bootloader starts running.

add menuconfig option to enable SO_RCVBUF
This option is required by Arduino and enables netconn connection to be queried for amount of data available in the rx buffer.

esp32: ets_update_cpu_frequency should set tick scale for both CPUs
ets_update_cpu_frequency ROM function updates g_ticks_per_us, which is has two copies, one for each CPU.
The APP CPU copy of g_ticks_per_us never got updated, resulting in shorter delays produced by ets_delay_us on the APP CPU.
This MR replaces ROM ets_update_cpu_frequency with a copy in IRAM which updates scaling factors on both of the CPUs.
So now we get expected delays (in microseconds):
```
ets_delay_us core=0 expected=50000 actual=50014
ets_delay_us core=1 expected=50000 actual=50015
vTaskDelay core=0 expected=50000 actual=49428
vTaskDelay core=1 expected=50000 actual=50000
```

SPI master driver
This merge requests adds an SPI Master driver. This driver is (of course) multithread capable, has device abstraction, has command queueing, DMA support and all other sorts of nice things you'd expect from a SPI driver.

modify bootloader dram start address, swap app bss and data segments
Modify bootloader dram_seg from address 0x3ffc0000 to 0x3fff0000, len from 0x20000 to 0x10000.
Also put app .data before .bss, to reduce the chance .data collides with ROM bootloader stack.
See merge request !375
This change reduces chances that a large .bss segment will push .data all the way into
0x3ffe1320 — 0x3ffe5320 range where the bootloader stack is, creating a problem when
bootloader will be loading application into memory.
With this change, .data would need to be at least 200k big to cause problems.
