Select type of WiFi TX buffers:

If "Static" is selected, WiFi TX buffers are allocated when WiFi is
initialized and released when WiFi is de-initialized. The size of each
static TX buffer is fixed to about 1.6KB.

If "Dynamic" is selected, each WiFi TX buffer is allocated as needed
when a data frame is delivered to the Wifi driver from the TCP/IP stack.
The buffer is freed after the data frame has been sent by the WiFi driver.
The size of each dynamic TX buffer depends on the length of each data
frame sent by the TCP/IP layer.

If PSRAM is enabled, "Static" should be selected to guarantee enough
WiFi TX buffers. If PSRAM is disabled, "Dynamic" should be selected
to improve the utilization of RAM.
