1. The 2nd bootloader always call `rom_spiflash_unlock()`, but never help to clear the WEL bit when exit. This may cause system unstability.
This commit helps to clear WEL when flash configuration is done.
**RISK:** When the app starts, it didn't have to clear the WEL before it actually write/erase. But now the very first write/erase operation should be done after a WEL clear. Though the risk is little (all the following write/erase also need to clear the WEL), we still have to test this carefully, especially for those functions used by the OTA.
2. The `rom_spiflash_unlock()` function in the patch of ESP32 may (1) trigger the QPI, (2) clear the QE or (3) fail to unlock the ISSI chips.

QE bit of other chips are at the bit 9 of the status register (i.e. bit 1 of SR2), which should be read by RDSR2 command.
However, the RDSR2 (35H, Read Status 2) command for chip of other vendors happens to be the QIOEN (Enter QPI mode) command of ISSI chips. When the `rom_spiflash_unlock()` function trys to read SR2, it may trigger the QPI of ISSI chips.
Moreover, when `rom_spiflash_unlock()` try to clear the BP4 bit in the status register, QE (bit 6) of ISSI chip may be cleared by accident. Or if the ISSI chip doesn't accept WRSR command with argument of two bytes (since it only have status register of one byte), it may fail to clear the other protect bits (BP0~BP3) as expected.
This commit makes the `rom_spiflash_unlock()` check whether the vendor is issi. if so, `rom_spiflash_unlock()` only send RDSR to read the status register, send WRSR with only 1 byte argument, and also avoid clearing the QE bit (bit 6).
3. `rom_spiflash_unlock()` always send WRSR command to clear protection bits even when there is no protection bit active. And the execution of clearing status registers, which takes about 700us, will also happen even when there's no bits cleared.
This commit skips the clearing of status register if there is no protection bits active.
Also move the execute_flash_command to be a bootloader API; move
implementation of spi_flash_wrap_set to the bootloader
The "FreeRTOS Event Groups" main task will only wait a single tick for the created
tasks to set their response bits. This short delay may not be sufficent if the tick
frequency is high.
This commit updates the test so that
- the main task waits indefinitely for all the response bits to be set.
- created tasks are cleaned up by the main task
FreeRTOS synchronization primitives (e.g., queues, eventgroups) use various event lists (i.e., task lists) to track what
tasks are blocked on a current primitive. Usually these event lists are accessed via one of the event lists functions
(such as vTask[PlaceOn|RemoveFrom]UnorderedEventList()), which in turn ensure that the global task list spinlock
(xTaskQueueMutex) is taken when accessing these lists.
However, some functions in event_groups.c manually traverse their event lists. Thus if a tick interrupt occurs on
another core during traversal and that tick interrupt unblocks a task on the event list being traversed, the event list
will be corrupted.
This commit modifies the following event_groups.c functions so that they take the global task list lock before
traversing their event list.
- xEventGroupSetBits()
- vEventGroupDelete()
