Due to previous flash write bug it was possible to create multiple duplicate entries in a single page.
Recovery logic detected that case and bailed out with an assert.
This change adds graceful recovery from this condition.
Tests included.
Currently a restart is required to recover a page from invalid state.
The long-term solution is to detect such a condition and recover automatically (without a restart). This will be implemented in a separate change set.
Previously the test bench would check failure recovery by introducing error after each write operation.
This makes checks a bit more extensive (and much longer) by failing after every word written. Surprisingly, this change didn't expose any bugs.

Fixes TW8162.
Associated test case is run under Instruments on macOS, until I set up valgrind to test this automatically on Linux.

spi_flash_read and spi_flash_write currently have a limitation that source and destination must be word-aligned.
This can be fixed by adding code paths for various unaligned scenarios, but function signatures also need to be adjusted.
As a first step (since we are pre-1.0 and can still change function signatures) alignment checks are added, and pointer types are relaxed to uint8_t.
Later we will add handling of unaligned operations.
This change also introduces spi_flash_erase_range and spi_flash_get_chip_size functions.
We probably need something like spi_flash_chip_size_detect which will detect actual chip size.
This is to allow single application binary to be used on a variety of boards and modules.
Introduces new internal function, Page::alterEntryRangeState, which gathers changes to multiple elements of entry state table into a single write, provided that these changes fall into a single word. This allows changing state of up to 16 entries in a single write.
Also adds new function, writeEntryData, which writes the whole payload of SZ and BLOB type entries in one go, instead of splitting it into multiple 32-byte writes.
This reduces number of writes required for SZ and BLOB entries.
Fixes problems with Eclipse trying to build in directories it shouldn't.
This is a breaking change for existing repositories, they need to rename
any component Makefiles to component.mk and rename their references to
$(IDF_PATH)/make/component.mk to $(IDF_PATH)/make/component_common.mk
This commit fixes several issues with state handling in nvs::Page. It also adds extra consistency checks in nvs::PageManger initialization.
These changes were verified with a new long-running test ("test recovery from sudden poweroff"). This test works by repeatedly performing same pseudorandom sequence of calls to nvs_ APIs. Each time it repeats the sequence, it introduces a failure into one of flash operations (write or erase). So if one iteration of this test needs, say, 25000 flash operations, then this test will run 25000 iterations, each time introducing the failure point at different location.
