refactor(esp_tee): Adopt Picolibc as the default LibC for ESP-TEE build

- Also fixed an issue where NewLib ROM APIs, when called from TEE, were
  using the syscall table located in the REE SRAM. This could be abused
  as an attack vector to invoke illegal functions from the TEE.
  To prevent this, the syscall table is now switched to the TEE-specific
  copy during every M-U mode transition.
