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.
- Remove extra blank line in companion_radio main.cpp before NRF52/STM32 block
- Revert unintended STM32_PLATFORM ETHERNET_ENABLED branch (no STM32 ethernet target exists, and it incorrectly included nrf52 headers)
- Drop renovate annotations from rak4631 platformio.ini (no renovate config in this repo)
The companion_radio example was not restoring the GPS enabled/disabled
preference from flash after reboot. The preference was being saved
correctly when toggled via the mobile app, but on boot,
sensors.begin() -> initBasicGPS() unconditionally sets gps_active=false
and nothing subsequently restored the persisted state.
Added applyGpsPrefs() (matching the pattern in simple_repeater,
simple_sensor, and simple_room_server) and call it from main.cpp
after sensors.begin() to ensure the GPS hardware is initialized
before the saved preference is applied.
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.

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

Pulled the class out of main.cpp, made a header to go along with it, externed globals in headers to make them accessible to button code. Added button code to send an advert on double press. Refactored ini files to prevent linker errors.
