feat(esp_board_manager): Integrate board manager as IDF action with auto-discovery

- Renamed esp_board_manager_ext.py to idf_ext.py for compatibility with ESP-IDF v6.0 auto-discovery
- Updated sdkconfig_manager.py with enhanced configuration handling
- Updated `Kconfig.in` with new configuration options to hide the board selection menu
- Delete only `build/CMakeCache.txt` to avoid a full clean when switching boards
- Correct the error codes
- Updated the README to include information about how to add new boards and the development roadmap
- Updated version to v0.4.1
- Added the `esp_board_periph_ref_handle` and `esp_board_periph_unref_handle` APIs to obtain and release a handle
- Added `esp_board_find_utils.h` and `esp_board_manager_includes.h`
