PM5: skip WFI idle sleep while a Flipper is CEP-attached

Problem

pm5_power_idle()'s WFI sleep adds ~40-50ms of latency before the main
loop notices a fresh byte on CEP's SPI1/USART1. At idle this is the
whole point of WFI - but it's also what made the original attach
handshake miss bytes (GH #3667): cep_attach_poll() runs every 50ms, and
WFI's own latency on top of that was enough to lose bytes of the
Flipper's one-shot handshake string often enough to require a physical
cable replug to recover.

Change

armsrc/appmain.c: skip pm5_power_idle() entirely once cep_is_attached()
is true, so the main loop polls CEP as fast as the hardware allows for
as long as a Flipper is physically present.

armsrc/pm5_cep.c/.h: new cep_is_attached(), true as soon as the CC
controller reports a physical attach - independent of whether the
handshake/SPI transport is actually up yet, so the loop stops sleeping
before the handshake even starts, not after. Paired with a
CEP_ACTIVITY_TIMEOUT_MS (3000ms) idle-detach: the FAP quitting doesn't
touch the CC controller's attach bit (the cable stays connected), so
losing its normal 20-120ms SPI poll cadence for this long is what
actually means it's gone - at that point cep_is_attached() still
reflects the physical attach correctly, but cep_is_active() (and
therefore this PR's WFI-skip, which gates on attachment rather than a
completed handshake) only backs off once the FAP itself has clearly quit
rather than just being between polls.

Built on top of the AT32 SPI1 errata fix (bounded waits + resync) from
the companion CEP-reliability PR - running the main loop flat-out
against an unbounded wait would have just hit that hang faster, which is
why this shipped after rather than alongside it.

Behaviour change

PM5 no longer downclocks to WFI between main-loop iterations while a
Flipper is attached over CEP (idle power draw increases for the duration
of the attach; unaffected when no Flipper is present, and unaffected on
RDV4/non-CEP builds).

Testing

- make clean && make PLATFORM=PM5 PLATFORM_EXTRAS=BWM and
  make clean && make PLATFORM=PM3RDV4 - both zero warnings.
- Hardware: this flag was active throughout all of the companion CEP-
  reliability PR's hardware testing (60s/110s/240s captures, 18x
  `hw status`, 5x attach/detach + `hf search` cycles against a real
  card) - all passed with WFI-skip engaged the whole time. Additionally
  reflashed this exact branch standalone and reconfirmed a live
  attach/detach cycle completes cleanly.
- Not tested: clang toolchain (firmware-only diff); idle power draw was
  not independently measured (no direct ammeter in this session's
  bench setup, only observed BWM telemetry prior to this change).

Checklist

- [x] Proper style of own code, no unrelated reformatting included
- [x] Builds warning-free with gcc (PM5 and RDV4)
- [ ] clang not tried (firmware-only diff)
