Framework for upcoming variant-specific PRs that add LED feedback during boot. The hook gives users visual cues that the device is busy and
shouldn't be interacted with until startup completes.
Resolve conflicts: keep both Ethernet CLI and SenseCAP power-off
button code in repeater, keep both Ethernet docs and power management
CLI docs.

The Ethernet retry loop in repeater and room server checked
hardwareStatus() and linkStatus() before calling Ethernet.begin(),
which always returned EthernetNoHardware since hardware detection
only happens during begin(). Extract shared Ethernet CLI code into
EthernetCLI.h to prevent future divergence. Also fix time_t type
mismatch in companion radio Ethernet init.

- Rename eth command to eth.status for consistency with other commands
- Rename generateDeviceMac to generateEthernetMac for clarity
- Refactor ethernet_handle_command to return false by default
- Allow new TCP clients to replace existing connections (repeater, room server, SerialEthernetInterface)
- Boot companion radio without Ethernet on init failure (LoRa-only recovery mode)
- Remove > prompt from ethernet CLI for consistency with serial interface
- Fix variable redeclaration compile error in SerialEthernetInterface when ETHERNET_STATIC_IP is defined
- Fix TCP socket leak when duplicate client detection fires
- Remove dead recv_queue and adv_restart_time members from SerialEthernetInterface
- Fix port numbers in docs (port 23 for repeater/room server CLI, port 5000 for companion radio)
- Clarify eth.status command is only available in repeater and room server firmware

Add W5100S Ethernet adapter support for RAK4631-based firmware, enabling
TCP CLI access on port 23 as an alternative to BLE/Serial connections.
- New SerialEthernetInterface for nRF52 with DHCP, reconnection handling,
and shared WB_IO2 power pin management with GPS module
- Ethernet build targets for repeater, room server, and companion firmware
- Prevent GPS from toggling WB_IO2 when Ethernet module is active
- CI build check for all three ETH firmware targets

This commit refactors the serial bridge functionality out of the `simple_repeater` example and into a more reusable, object-oriented structure.
An `AbstractBridge` interface has been introduced, along with a concrete `SerialBridge` implementation. This encapsulates all the logic for packet framing, checksum calculation, and serial communication, cleaning up the main example file significantly.
The `simple_repeater` example now instantiates and uses the `SerialBridge` class, resulting in better separation of concerns and improved code organization.
