updates

* docs: fix minor issues and improve vague statements

* feat(esp32h21): Add Microsoft UF2 family ID

* fix(logging): Avoid crashes when flushing if sys.stdout is not available

Closes espressif#1064

Closes espressif#1063

* change(github): Add Github workflow for bot responses to issues

* fix(elf2image): Print correct MMU page size in error message

* fix(elf2image): Try to correct MMU page size if not specified

This commit fixes issue with using elf2image command without --flash-mmu-page-size.
In that case, app info segment might be incorrectly placed in the image.
This is fixed by checking if app info segment is present and if so,
use page size from it or from its alignment.
Closes espressif#1062

* fix(elf2image): support --flash-mmu-page-config for all chips

This commit fixes the issue where the `--flash-mmu-page-config` option
did not work for chips that do not have configurable MMU page sizes.

* fix(esptool): Fix efuse base address for esp32h21

* remove: Deprecate Python versions 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9

BREAKING CHANGE

* docs(logger): Fix custom logger example code

Closes espressif#1066

* feat(esp32h4): add ESP32H4 esptool support

* feat(espefuse): Updates esp32h4 efuse table and fixes tests

- Added esp32h4 efuse table
- Fixed h4 test
- Enabled some tests for p4 chip.

* feat(esp32h4): update the ESP32H4StubLoader

* change: fix issues reported by ruff linter

* ci: update pre-commit hooks to the latest versions

* feat(flash_attach): Encapsulate logic for flash attaching and configuration

* refactor(cli_mode): Improve CLI mode workflow code

* feat(cmds): Rework the public API to work as a Python module
