Before:
The cache won't be disabled when XIP on psram. But during flash
erasing/programming, read data will be courrupt.
When XIP in psram is enabled, the image is not mapped to the cache so
usually there will be no flash access. The only way to read from flash
is via the driver or use mmap. The driver has protection during erasing,
while th mmap region not.
Now:
Mmap APIs provide a flag to make mmap->unmap region mutually exclusive
to flash erase/programming when XIP from psram. SPI Flash write APIs
will benefit from this. When the flag is used, no concurrent access to
mapped region will happen while writing; otherwise the cache will be
disable to avoid data corruption.
Most ESP-IDF APIs calls mmap with this flag. As for users calling
mmap-like APIs directly, they can choose whether to enable this by a
flag.

A typical scenario is: when XIP on PSRAM enabled, compiler optimization level is Os. Under certain binary layout, boot hangs and backtrace points to `esp_sleep_config_gpio_isolate`.
The root cause is that, during PSRAM initialization, it calls esp_gpio_reserve, which happens to place before the reported function. However, after call, there is no barrier before the clock adjustment in `mspi_timing_enter_low_speed_mode`. The clock gets changed when the cache is still fetching data, resulting in the corrupted data in the end of the cache line.
This commits add spi_flash_disable_cache as a barrier to make sure the cache transactions is finished before the clock switch.
