[Ovmsdev] Attention: esp-idf upgrade still breaks configuration

Narrowing this down is a real PITA. The effect sometimes stops to occur, I then need to leave the module powered down for a while to get the effect back.
Sometimes 1 hour is sufficient, currently it's been off for 2 hours and still works. I had a test window yesterday evening, one this morning and one in the
afternoon. Temperature is most probably irrelevant, as the last power downs were outside in ~4-5 °C to rule this out.

So as a "passed" can always be a false positive I need to validate every passed step by switching back to a failing version and see if that still fails.

It seems I now have to wait until tomorrow for the next test window, but I have bisected down to this range of just 8 commits:

…with 9d609af54c63e7f949a4fbc43d4f1c13b57f49d8 being the last identified bad commit, and 9d2f7c60d9aef9860c61c2756318ada68c80fddf being the last good.

If I should guess now, it's probably one of Dmitry's commits on the wear leveling code.

Michael
