Converted EEPROM library to use nvs instead of partition. (#2678)

* Converted EEPROM library to use nvs instead of partition.  Removed eeprom partition from all partition table CSV files.
* Changed variable names, added some comments, formatting as per me-no-dev's requests
* Checks for memory on malloc
* Moved include nvs.h from header to code
* Reworked the extra example to make it more clear how to actually use the library and persist data

+## EEPROM
+
+EEPROM is deprecated.  For new applications on ESP32, use Preferences.  EEPROM is provided for backwards compatibility with existing Arduino applications.
+EEPROM is implemented using a single blob within NVS, so it is a container within a container. As such, it is not going to be a high performance storage method.  Preferences will directly use nvs, and store each entry as a single object therein.
