Add WiFi static and dynamic tx buffer choice

    If static tx buffer is selected, WiFi tx buffers are allocated when WiFi is initialized and released

    when WiFi is de-initialized. If dynamic tx buffer is selected, WiFi tx buffer is allocated when tx

    data is delivered from LWIP to WiFi and released when tx data is sent out by WiFi.

    The size of each static tx buffers is fixed to about 1.6KB and the size of dynamic tx buffers is

    depend on the length of the data delivered from LWIP.

    If PSRAM is enabled, "STATIC" should be selected to guarantee enough WiFi tx buffers.

    If PSRAM is disabled, "DYNAMIC" should be selected to improve the utilization of RAM.
