Many changes regarding Json support and memory improvement

- Support for ArduinoJson 7
- Fixed missing `step` for slider when using short ranges or big ranges
- Supports WebSocket batching to avoid crash with the initial layout sending. Batch sizes can be controlled with `DASH_JSON_SIZE`.
- Mitigate concurrency issue with `isAsyncAccessInProgress()` to avoid updating cards while the layout is being generated
- Changed card and stat names to `const char*` to improve memory usage. This makes them immutable and require to use constants.
- Removed the ability to change a stat name (for this dynamic use case we can remove and recreate a stat)
- refreshLayout() refactoring in order to avoid too many layout refresh requests when updating components dynamically: let the caller trigger a layout refresh once.
- Removed refreshStatistics() because it it not refreshing the stats only but all the updated cards also
- Removed update calls when adding / removing cards and stats in order to avoid trigger a sequence of full layout updates: this is u to the user to call refreshLayout() when he has finished
- Support both ESPAsyncWebServer fork from ESPHome and yubox-node-org (which as a better api for sending websocket buffers and dealing with concurrency)
