[FEATURE REQUEST] USB Host Mode

[probonopd]

It would be nice if we could attach 3D printers to the ESP32S2 using USB Host Mode.

There are now very inexpensive ESP32-S2 based boards called the S2 Mini.

They have a USB-C port which a 3D printer can be plugged in using a USB-A to USB-C adapter.

And Espressif seems to have a USB host mode driver for serial bridges and for CDC class compliant devices.

Maybe it can be integrated into ESP3D?

the automatic driver selection is only available since december in idf 5.1 which is not yet available in esp32-arduino yet, but should come soon.

I have already implemented the feature in https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D-TFT which use idf 5.1 framework instead of arduino framework

so be part of esp3d based on arduino framework is just matter of time

Also yhe FR is already addressed here: #851
