Add partition label argument to Update and ArduinoOTA classThe UpdateClass in the Updater component has the ability to update data toa SPIFFS partition. It selects the first available partition using theESP-IDF esp_partition_find_first() function.That behaviour is problematic if one has multiple SPIFFS partitions.This change allows a user to pass the label argument (defaults to NULL)to UpdateClass::begin() so a specific SPIFFS partition can be updated.Additionally, ArduinoOTA can set this partition label using thenew method ArduinoOTAClass::setPartitionLabel which is optional.This change does not break compatibility.

The UpdateClass in the Updater component has the ability to update data to
a SPIFFS partition. It selects the first available partition using the
ESP-IDF esp_partition_find_first() function.
That behaviour is problematic if one has multiple SPIFFS partitions.

This change allows a user to pass the label argument (defaults to NULL)
to UpdateClass::begin() so a specific SPIFFS partition can be updated.

Additionally, ArduinoOTA can set this partition label using the
new method ArduinoOTAClass::setPartitionLabel which is optional.

This change does not break compatibility.
