Support the ESP8266_RTOS_SDK (WPA3 for the ESP8266) #2128

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

The ESP8266_NONOS_SDK (which is used by ESP8266 Arduino) no longer receives feature updates (starting from December 2019). [Source]
New features like WPA3 and PMF are only supported by the ESP8266_RTOS_SDK.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

I would like to enable WPA3 and PMF for my WiFi network. Currently there are no alternatives.
I hope the RTOS SDK will also improve the connection issues on all my ESP8266 devices.

Thanks @Mat931 for pointing to the new SDK. Maybe this saves me from opening all my wall switches (about 40) and spending a lot of money. Currently i run a seperate wifi only for esphome with esp8266, but its less secure and blocks wifi channels.
