• Several flash footprint improvements.
• Fixed duplicated UART logs.
• Improvements on initial WiFi internal setup.
• ESP8266:
  • Huge improvements (Stability, CPU and DRAM usage) on SDK Timers, used by WiFi driver and internal watchdog.
• ESP32, ESP32-C and ESP32-S:
  • Lightbulb: Fixed NRZ addressable LEDs that were not working for some onboard LEDs.
  • Fixed WiFi initialization that potentially could disable AP before connecting to saved network.
