In addition to exposing additional configuration settings, it now also
provides access to the wifi station power-saving control.
Documentation updated, and wifi.sta.getconfig() has been documented. Not
sure why that wasn't already the case.
By returning result as a signed 32-bit int between INT32_MIN to IN32_MAX
which is represented the same regardless of 64-bit support or
integral-only builds.
Also updated docs, fixed links and clarified behavior of random APIs
when WiFi isn't started.

Also removed old, very unsafe node.osoutput(). We're now integrating cleanly
with the IDF/newlib way of redirecting stdout.
Added necessary depends in Kconfig to ensure VFS support is enabled, as
otherwise you'd only get a mysterious crash when attempting to enable
output redirection.
The IDF-provided VFS resolves several issues:
- The IDF components having a different view of the (virtual) file system
compared to the Lua environment.
- RTOS task/thread safety. Our legacy VFS was only ever safe to use
from the LVM thread, which limited its usability. Upgrading it
would have effectively required a reimplementation of the IDF VFS,
which would have been a bigger task with larger on-going maintenance
issues.
- We're no longer needing to maintain our own SPIFFS component.
- We're no longer needing to maintain our own FATFS component.
- The legacy of the 8266's lack of standard C interface to the file system
is no longer holding us back, meaning that we can use the standard
Lua `io` module rather than the cobbled-together swiss army knife
also known as the file module.
Of course, the downside is that we'll either have to declare a backwards
breakage in regard to the file module, or provide a Lua shim for the old
functions, where applicable.
Also included is some necessary integer type fixups in unrelated code,
which apparently had depended on some non-standard types in either the
SPIFFS or FATFS headers.
A memory leak issue in the sdmmc module was also found and fixed while
said module got switched over to the Espressif VFS.
Module documentation has been updated to match the new reality (and I
discovered in some places it wasn't even matching the old reality).
Only compile-tested so far.
Of note is that the WiFi auto-connect (flag) functionality has been removed
from the IDF, and as a follow-on so has the "auto" field in the wifi config.
On the Ethernet side, support for the TLK110 PHY seems to have been removed,
but on the other hand there is now new support for several others.
