Merge pull request #1302 from petermm/optional-device_config

Make SPI device_config optional

currently it's a required param, even in a scenario where it's meant to be
empty (nif c code handles device_config: [] already)

eg device_config: [] is currently required:

```
    spi_settings = [
      bus_config: [
        miso: 19,
        mosi: 23,
        sclk: 18,
        peripheral: "spi3"
      ],
      device_config: []
    ]

    spi = :spi.open(spi_settings)
    :ok = :esp.mount("sdspi", "/test", :fat, spi_host: spi, cs: 5)
```

PR allows leaving out 'device_config: []' - for simpler/better DX.
(I wasted a ton of time figuring out the empty device_config array requirement)
