esp32: Fix heap corruption triggered by bluetooth.active(0).

It seems like at some point Espressif NimBLE team changed
nimble_port_init and nimble_port_deinit to manage HCI init
internally:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-nimble/commit/f8a79b04c9743543b8959727d7

This change is included in all the IDF versions that MicroPython supports.

As a result, existing code that called esp_nimble_hci_deinit() explicitly
would trigger a use-after-free bug and heap corruption (specifically this
calls through to ble_transport_deinit() which calls os_mempool_free(). The
second time this writes out to a bunch of memory pools where the backing
buffers have already been freed.)

Symptoms were intermittent random crashes after de-activating Bluetooth
(running multi_bluetooth/ble_gatt_data_transfer.py could sometimes
reproduce). Setting Heap Poisoning to Comprehensive in menuconfig caused
the bug to be detected every time.

This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.
