These features are not supported in the CMake build system preview, but previously
had to read the notice in the CMake Getting Started guide to know this.

Issue is that when users creates a custom bootloader from
$IDF_PATH/components/bootloader. Parent project build uses the copy but
bootloader subproject build uses the original still. The issue is solved
by passing the custom bootloader as extra component directory so
bootloader build knows to use the new copy (itself) in the build.
In some cases, linker could choose to use ROM functions instead of the
ones defined in IDF.
For functions used in ROM stub table, this would lead to infinite
recursion when the corresponding function was called from ROM.
For crypto functions, some of these were modified in IDF, and
incompatible with ROM counterparts.
It is possible to utilize some of the routines related to otadata
partition validation, after firmware image is downloaded to RAM. Hence
these routines should be part of app cpu cache, so that they do not
get overwritten by firmware.

Allows OTA updates to be secured via signature checks, without requiring the overhead or complexity
of a full secure boot implementation.
Uses same signing mechanisms (build system and/or espsecure.py as Secure Boot).
Requires:
* [ ] More testing
* [ ] Documentation
* Fixes some "noreturn" functions in bootloader utils which did return (causing fatal CPU
exceptions).
* Marks bootloader entry as "noreturn", preventing "user code done" from stalling boot
Partial fix for https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/1814 TW20016
(Comprehensive fix for this issue will be enabling WDT during bootloader, coming shortly.)
Because address space is mapped in 64KB pages, it was possible for unauthenticated data after the
app .bin to become mapped into the flash cache address space.
This problem is solved by 2 changes:
* "esptool elf2image --secure-pad" will pad the image so that the signature block ends close to the
64KB boundary. Due to alignment constraints it will be 12 bytes too short after signing (but
with flash encryption, these 12 bytes are still encrypted as part of the last block and can't be
arbitrarily changed).
* By default, secure boot now requires all app partitions to be a multiple of 64KB in size.
When 2nd stage bootloader loads the ROM bootloader, it prints a
message similar to "entry 0x40080xxx", which idf_monitor decodes
(using application ELF file) as one of the reset vectors (xxx is <
400h). This moves the iram_seg of bootloader 1k up to prevent overlap
of bootloader .text and application vectors, making the output look
nicer. There is still a chance that the entry point decodes as some
symbol in application ELF file, but at least it won't have
"Exception" in its name.
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.

Added feature:
- reset firmware to Factory app.(by long pressing of the button)
- boot Test app. (by long pressing of the button)
- Added feature erase data partitions from factory reset.

Refactor IDF "project" functionality under a wrapping of the default
"project" command, so we can tweak it a bit...
Will need more testing in other environments.
Need to make the bootloader modular so that users can redefine its functional part.
- refactoring and moving functions to the bootloader_support component
- Changed function to `void` bootloader_utility_load_image(...);
