Currently, several example dependencies rely on the fact that all
registered components are added to the build, along with components
specified in common requirements. This results in longer build times
because even unused components must be built. Switch all examples to use
idf_minimal_build to compile only the components actually required by
the example.

Currently, several examples do not explicitly state their component
dependencies, relying instead on the default behavior that includes all
registered components and commonly required ones in the build.
Explicitly adding component dependencies can reduce build time when
set(COMPONENTS main) is used.

This updates the minimal supported version of CMake to 3.16, which in turn enables us to use more CMake features and have a cleaner build system.
This is the version that provides most new features and also the one we use in our latest docker image for CI.
Changes argument parsing mechanism from argparse to a new one, that provides better support for extensions and options that are only applicable to specific subcommands,
Breaking changes:
1. All global options should go before subcommands, i.e. `idf.py build -C ~/some/project` will not work anymore, only `idf.py -C ~/some/project build` is acceptable
2. To provide multiple values to an option like `--define-cache-entry` it's necessary to repeat option many times, i.e. `idf.py -D entry1 entry2 entry3` will not work, right way is: `idf.py -D entry1 -D entry2 -D entry3`
At the moment there are 3 options like this: `--define-cache-entry` in base list and `--test-components` and `--test-exclude-components` in the unit test extensions
3. Drops `defconfig` and `bootloader-clean` subcommands
