v1.6.0 to use ESP8266 core v3.0.0

### Major Releases v1.6.0

1. Fix AP connect issue caused by **breaking ESP8266 core v3.0.0**. Caused by multiple core changes, but the new solution results a better and faster connection to AP.
2. Fix SSL issue caused by breaking ESP8266 core v3.0.0. Now the better **BearSSL** is used in both ESP32 and ESP8266 to replace the ESP8266 deprecated `axTLS`. Check [Remove axTLS from code and documentation #7437](esp8266/Arduino#7437)
3. Fix the `BLYNK_INFO_DEVICE`displaying the generic ESP8266 board with Blynk logo. Caused by new ESP8266 core changes of `build.board`. For example from `ESP8266_NODEMCU` in core v2.7.4 to `ESP8266_NODEMCU_ESP12E` in core v3.0.0
4. Fix many warnings only displayed in new core ESP8266 v3.0.0
5. Make code compatible for either new ESP8266 core v3.0.0+ or ealier cores v2.7.4-
