upgrade latest esp8266 rtos sdk version

Thanks for the information. Looks like there are no major updates but should update to the latest version of the RTOS anyway.
The latest SDK fixes the "KRAK" (https://www.krackattacks.com/) vulnerability in the wifi stack, so I think it would be a good idea to get the SDK updated.
The SDK is now at https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/commits/master so may make sense to switch to sub module import similar to esp32 SDK and more.
[I may have a go at this, but I want to finish the wifi scan work I'm currently working on first]
Yeah, its about time to make an uplift. It's not on my personal todo-list as of today, so any help would be appreciated (and probably needed to make it happen).
