Description

related to: #8380

it would be nice if Partition.get_next_update() would also accept the block_size argument.
This way you won't be locked in to a certain block_size after initial deployment when doing OTA updates.

Research direction

Start at the ESP32 Partition.get_next_update() API and read related issue #8380 for context on the partition behavior. Implement support for a block_size argument so OTA updates are not locked to the initial block size, then verify that the API handles a different block size after deployment.
