esp32: Skip validation of image on boot from deepsleep.

sdkconfig.base: Add CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SKIP_VALIDATE_IN_DEEP_SLEEP=y. This reduces time to boot from deepsleep by at least 200ms and can provide significant power savings for deepsleep-based battery applications. docs/library/esp32.rst: Add note cautioning not to enter deepsleep after changing the boot partition, without first performing a hard reset.
