Easy improvement for ESP32-S3 boards (QSPI vs OPI PSRAM) #222

Hi, I've had a load of hassle installing WLED on an Arduino Nano (ESP32 S3 with 16MB RAM connected using QSPI) and found most people seem to struggle with downloading any of the S3 firmware images and getting it to a state its rebooting every few seconds with no WLAN-AP showing..

I think its as easy as just having 4/8/16 MB options in both QSPI and OPI flavours.. the 4MB QSPI build worked on the Arduino Nano ESP32 S3 16MB Boards), but obviously people always want to max out their hardware.

Also, I don't know who can edit the Wiki, but adding snippets in the process for various devboards might be useful, for example, a fresh Arduino Nano ESP32 needs you to use the double reset method to force it in to download mode prior to using the web based downloader, which also (ideally) needs the ESP32 S3 16M RAM QSPI as an option...

Great project, I'm very grateful this exists and understand the context of asking for anything, I'm just keen to help others who may be 'lost' and overwhelmed as new users.
