Added a new structure esp_app_desc_t. It has info about firmware:
version, secure_version, project_name, time/date build and IDF version.
Added the ability to add a custom structure with a description of the firmware.
The esp_app_desc_t is located in fixed place in start of ROM secotor. It is located after structures esp_image_header_t and esp_image_segment_header_t.
app_version is filed from PROJECT_VER variable (if set in custom make file) or PROJECT_PATH/version.txt or git repo (git describe).
Add API to get app_desc from partition.
Add a command `make erase_ota` - erases otadata if it there is in the
partition table otherwise error 'Partition table does not have ota_data partition'.
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/1821
Allows you to move the partition table, it gives more space for the bootloader.
Added a new utility - parttool.py. This utility can search for the offset and/or size of the partitions by name and type/subtype. Use for getting APP_OFFSET and PHY_DATA_OFFSET.
The linker(esp32.bootloader.ld) made changes that allow you to write a custom bootloader code more.

With V=0, build process would print “including .../Makefile.projbuild" lines, causing problems for print_flash_cmd target.
The issue was due to the way macro expansion works in make. To delay evaluation of info function until the execution of expanded block, two dollar signs are required.
Test for print_flash_cmd target added.
Currently for checking IDF version and submodules existence,
build system uses `git` commands. But, it could be possible use-case
where `git` is not installed (assuming IDF is flattened in source format)
on system and build happens without any warnings.

We had some problems:
simultaneous compiling of kconfig in the same tree;
attempt to use menuconfig in some examples and ut in batch mode (w/o interactive console)
Also increase debug abilities in CI:
force non-interactive building;
add variable DEBUG_SHELL to toggle verbosity of scripts
Since 2.11.0, git does not default to 7 characters for short commit IDs,
instead automatically estimating the number of characters based on
repository size [1]. If the toolchain was compiled on a computer with
new version of git installed, commit ID will contain 8 characters, and
the check for the toolchain version will fail. As a workaround, trim the
commit ID to 7 characters when checking the version.

Fix warnings where undefined vars are used.
Make Kconfig emit "FOO=" for unset bool options
To ensure make variables are always defined, even if empty.
When writing auto.conf, include symbols disabled by dependency to make sure all make variables are always defined.

Too hard to stage the dependencies so that all clean steps complete before any build steps begin. Also, using and then
deleting and then regenerating SDKCONFIG_MAKEFILE in one pass is really hard to manage successfully.
