Allow setting specific board configuration via user-defined menu items

[juancgalvez]

I work with several devices (ESP32, ESP8266, ATMEGA168P based, ATMEGA328P based) and every time I need to compile for a different a one, I must select that particular device and manually change all the related options.

Would be good if I can just name and save each device complete configuration and later access it as a menu item in Tools menu so all options are set in a single step.

This idea was discussed tangentially from arduino/arduino-ide#2339

@per1234 in fact, that is a completely different requirement. Mine is about saving each device complete configuration settings in a single menu option. The one you referenced is about disabling unused boards devices. Read my first post.

That's what the issue is about, but the tangential discussion I linked to is about adding a user configurable "favorite boards" menu to the IDE.

My request is not about favorite boards. Is about being able to save the device configuration options in some place you can recover in a single action (Could be menu option). Every time I change the target device I have to reconfigure all the options. Would be good to recover all those configuration options fast, easy and less prone to errors.
