[esp8266][rp2040] Eliminate heap fallback in preference save/load

Replace SmallBufferWithHeapFallback with a fixed stack buffer sized
to the physical storage limit. No single preference can exceed the
storage it resides in, so heap allocation is never needed.

ESP8266: buffer sized to max(flash_storage, rtc_normal_region) —
128 words (512B) with restore_from_flash, 96 words (384B) without.
RP2040: buffer sized to flash storage (512B).

Eliminates new[]/delete[] codegen from save()/load() virtual methods.
