ESP32 Arduino 2.0.2 based on ESP-IDF 4.4-beta1

The Arduino ESP32 version 2.0.2 based on the ESP-IDF v4.4-beta1 includes mainly peripheral APIs refactoring, improvements and bug fixes.

Here is a summary of the major changes.

Peripherals refactored to use ESP-IDF APIs:

• Timer
• LedC
• DAC
• RMT
• SigmaDelta

Improvements:

• Boards added and some updated (TTGO-LoRa32, Adafruit boards, DPU ESP32...)
• Added Sonoff DUALR3 support with RainMaker example
• GPIO defines for C3 added
• Github CLI workflow updates
• Added support to change LoopTask Stack size
• New Documentation added (USB, GPIO, Arduino as component)

Bugfixes:

• I2C Clock stretching
• SD card status check
• Baudrate with CPU Freq < 80MHz
• SetCpuFrequencyMhz() changes Serial bauds if frequency<80Mhz
• Lib Builder compiling errors
• WiFiSecureClient memory leaks when SSL/TLS connection fails
• Change default WiFi STA encryption to WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK
• Forces UART Flush() to wait until all bits are sent

See all bug fixes in the complete changelog below.
