Examples Built with MINIMAL_BUILD Property Enabled

Most of the examples in ESP-IDF are now being built with the MINIMAL_BUILD property enabled in their project CMakeLists.txt by using idf_build_set_property(MINIMAL_BUILD ON). This reduces the build time by including only the main component and its transitive dependencies.

As a side effect, only these components appear in menuconfig, as noted in the Components config menu. With MINIMAL_BUILD enabled, to make other components visible and compiled, add them as dependencies of the main component dependency or as its transitive dependencies. For more information, please see :ref:Including Components in the Build <including-components-in-the-build>.
