The `esptool.py` program is no longer installed as a RIOT package, but as a pure Python package, as published by Espressif. The installation takes place in a virtual Python environment in the `dist/tools/esptools/venv` directory. Therfore, there is no need to pull the GitHub repository and thus not necessary to install it as a RIOT package.
It makes no sense to have a separate `esp_ble_$(CPU_FAM)` feature for each ESP32x variant. The ESP32x has either a BLE controller or not. Therefore, a single common `esp_ble` feature is sufficient.
19079: cpu/esp32: add periph_flashpage support r=kaspar030 a=gschorcht
### Contribution description
This PR provides the `periph_flashpage` support for ESP32x SoCs.
For byte-aligned read access to constant data in the flash, the MMU of all ESP32x SoCs allows to map a certain number of 64 kByte pages of the flash into the data address space of the CPU. This address space is called DROM. Normally the whole DROM address space is assigned to the section `.rodata`. The default flash layout used by all ESP32x SoCs is:
| Address in Flash | Content |
|:-----------------------|:-----------|
| `0x0000` or `0x1000` | bootloader |
| `0x8000` | parition table |
| `0x9000` | `nvs` parition with WiFi data |
| `0xf000` | `phy_init` partition with RF data |
| `0x10000` | `factory` partition with the app image |
The factory partition consists of a number of 64 kByte pages for the sections `.text`, `.rodata`, `.bss` and others. The `.text` and `rodata` sections are page-aligned and are simply mapped into the instruction address space (IROM) and the data address space (DROM), respectively. All other sections are loaded into RAM.
If the `periph_flashpage` module is used, the `periph_flashpage` driver
- decreases the size of the `.rodata` section in DROM address space by `CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY`,
- adds a section `.flashpage.writable` of size `CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY` at the end of DROM address space that is mapped into data address space of the CPU,
- reserves a region of size `CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY` starting from `0x10000` in front of the image partition `factory` and
- moves the image partition `factory` by `CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY` to address `0x10000 + CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY`.
The new flash layout is then:
| Address in Flash | Content |
|:-----------------------|:-----------|
| `0x0000` or `0x1000` | bootloader |
| `0x8000` | parition table |
| `0x9000` | `nvs` parition with WiFi data |
| `0xf000` | `phy_init` partition with RF data |
| `0x10000` | flashpage region |
| `0x10000 + CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY` | `factory` partition with the app image |
This guarantees that the flash pages are not overwritten if a new app image with changed size is flashed. `CONFIG_ESP_FLASHPAGE_CAPACITY` has to be a multiple of 64 kBytes.
~The PR includes PR #19077 and PR #19078 for the moment to be compilable.~
### Testing procedure
The following tests should pass.
```
USEMODULE='esp_log_startup ps shell_cmds_default' BOARD=esp32-wroom-32 make -j8 -C tests/periph_flashpage flash term
```
```
USEMODULE='esp_log_startup ps shell_cmds_default' BOARD=esp32-wroom-32 make -j8 -C tests/mtd_flashpage flash term
```

The `usbdev_synopsys_dwc2 driver` requires the `ztimer_msec` module and is therefore responsible for pulling it in. Therefore, the dependency on `ztimer_msec` can be removed here.
With the improvements of the locking mechanism, thread safety of malloc/realloc/calloc/free is guaranteed. Module malloc_thread_safe is not needed any longer.
In fact the ESP32 has no peripheral driver for the ETH interface. Instead, the `esp_eth` netdev driver directly uses the ESP-IDF Ethernet API. This caused compilation problems with Kconfig. Therefore the required feature `periph_eth` is replaced by the feature `esp_eth`.
The vendor binary libraries of ESP-IDF are provided as a separate GIT repository. These libraries are defined as separate package for two reasons: 1. RIOT packages don't support to clone GIT repositories recursively; 2. ESP-IDF pulls a lot of other GIT repositories that are not needed when it is cloned recursively.
