change: alignment for data partitions is now 4kB instead of 4B
remove: STRICT_DATA_ALIGNMENT variable
remove: warning tests for misaligned partitions
add: assertion test for misaligned partitions
add: breaking change documentation
If a partition offset is not aligned to 4 kB, erase operations will
fail, even if they are aligned to 4 kB relative to the partition
start. This is because the underlying esp_flash_erase_range function
only works when the address is aligned to 4 kB.
Not making this an error for now, since applications might be using
read-only non-4kB aligned partitions, which still work fine.
Will change this behavior in IDF 5.0, requiring 4 kB alignment for all
partitions.

It was when in the partition table there is a partition with type="data" and suptype=""(empty),
in this case type=1, suptype=0. It is similar to otadata partition.
This commit fixes it, now it will handle it as type=1, suptype=6 (ESP_PARTITION_SUBTYPE_DATA_UNDEFINED).
A manufactory tool needs to retrieve info about partitions. With a new flag - "--part_list" we can get a list of partitions with the same type/subtype and easily iterate by it.
- name and flag arguments
- added flag "--part_list" to get a list of partitions with the same type/subtype
- save prev behavior of the get_partition_info command (return the only first item)
- added host test
Based on report on forum here:

Previous versions were much more relaxed about what could be in the partition
table, erroring out avoids unexpected changes on upgrade like different
partition offsets.
