Summary
This commit introduces a new CMake option MICROPY_COMPONENT_BUILD that allows excluding main.c from the build when MicroPython is integrated as an ESP-IDF component in an external project.
When MicroPython is used as a component, the host application typically provides its own app_main() and mp_task() functions, leading to multiple definition errors at link time.
The option defaults to OFF, preserving existing behavior for all
standard MicroPython builds.
Example usage in an external ESP-IDF project:
set(MICROPY_COMPONENT_BUILD ON)
Testing
I compiled the esp32 port for all supported targets out and in tree and the builds completed cleanly.
