The reduced-TLS work was validated on hardware but only reachable through
PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS pointing at an absolute path in a developer's home
directory, so nothing outside that machine could reproduce it.
Distribute the archives as a release asset instead of committing them: ~6 MB
per architecture, and they must be rebuilt for every espressif32 bump, so
committing would grow history permanently and go stale without any signal.

Off by default. The script is attached to esp32_base but returns immediately
unless MESHCORE_REDUCED_TLS=1, so ordinary builds need no artifact and are
byte-for-byte unaffected — confirmed by building with it absent.
Both ways this can fail silently produce a firmware that looks fine and lacks
the change, so the opt-in path refuses to guess:
- a -L at a missing or partial directory: the linker ignores an unusable
search path and resolves mbedTLS from the framework. Now a hard error.
- archives left over from an earlier platform version: now a sha256
mismatch against the manifest, naming both hashes.
- a -L that is present but outranked, leaving the flag inert: after the
link, firmware.map must resolve every libmbed*.a into .mbedtls-4k/, or
the build fails and prints the offending paths.
That last check earned its place immediately — it caught its own first
implementation comparing a relative map path against an absolute one, and an
earlier build flag in this investigation was accepted by the compiler while
no source read it. A flag reaching the compiler proves nothing about the link.
Verified all four paths on Heltec_v3_repeater_observer_mqtt: default build
unaffected; opted in with archives present links all four from .mbedtls-4k/
and says so; archives absent fails with a fetch hint; a single appended byte
fails on sha256.
Also removes platformio.local.ini.hold, which held the superseded approach of
pointing platform_packages at a whole custom framework. That installs over the
shared framework package and changes mbedTLS for every other ESP32 project on
the machine; the -L path keeps the change scoped to one env.
Note the inbound record buffer stays at 16 KiB, so this lowers per-connection
footprint by ~12 KiB but does not move the contiguous allocation a handshake
needs. It buys headroom, not a lower floor.
