Add DAB ANTCAP calibration and fix BT1035 boot banner timing

Extend the FM-only ANTCAP antenna-varactor override to DAB, mirroring the
existing mechanism end to end (driver, tuner, service, EEPROM storage,
HTTP API). Live sweep on real hardware found no ANTCAP value beating
auto-tune on the ensembles tested, so DAB stays on auto-tune by default.

Also fix BT1035 boot: the module's real boot banner doesn't appear until
~18-24s after RESET# releases, not the 3.5s previously waited; add a
2-attempt retry and a baud-rate probe fallback for diagnostics.

### H5. Si4684 FM/DAB no-lock — blob integrity checked, verdict: hardware
**Verdict (2026-08-13): blob OK → suspect U6 RF ground (re-open PCBWay)**, not
a firmware/blob defect. Full investigation, evidence, and the two byte-offset

### H5. Si4684 FM/DAB no-lock — RESOLVED, was firmware after all
**Superseded verdict (2026-08-13): blob OK → suspected U6 RF ground, PCBWay
dispute opened.** That verdict was wrong. The actual cause was
`writeCommand()`'s ARG1 byte being mis-offset across FM/DAB tune, seek, and
several status/ack commands — the chip always answered correctly, so every
signal pointed at hardware, but it never actually tuned. Fixed; real FM
lock, real DAB ensemble lock, real audio confirmed live on the same board.
No PCB rework was needed. Full investigation, the wrong initial verdict,
and the eventual root cause: [`docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md`](si4684-rf-investigation-report.md).

## Post-0.8.5 hardware-in-the-loop findings
The board arrived and testing against it (not just host tests) found real
bugs the host-testable core couldn't catch, since they live in
ESP-IDF-only drivers. Full detail and evidence in
[`docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md`](si4684-rf-investigation-report.md).
Short version:
- Si4684 total RF blackout (H5 above) — firmware bug, fixed.
- Si4684→ADAU1701 digital audio silence — `PIN_CONFIG_ENABLE` mutual
exclusion + `SerialInputRegister` polarity, fixed.
- DAB service list empty/garbled — response-parsing offset bugs (two
rounds) plus `DAB_EVENT_INTERRUPT_SOURCE` (0xB300) never configured,
fixed.
- FM front-end auto-tune measurably suboptimal on this board's actual
matching network — ANTCAP calibration swept and persisted to EEPROM,
`POST /api/tuner/calibrate-antenna`.
- BT1035 total boot silence — root cause found and fixed (2026-08-20):
the module's spontaneous boot banner (`+VER=...`, `+DEVSTAT=1`) doesn't
appear until ~18-24s after RESET# releases (full BT stack init, not
just the internal regulator), but the boot code only waited 3.5s before
cutting power and restarting — so every attempt, in every prior session,
cut power before the module could ever finish booting even once. Power
rails (VBAT_IN/SYS_CTRL/VDD_IO/1.8V_OUT) and TX/RX wiring were all
independently verified correct with a multimeter first — the module and
PCB were never at fault. Fixed by waiting up to 25s for the banner
(`kBootBannerWaitMs`); boot now succeeds on the first attempt.
- **Still open**: intermittent multi-second HTTP unresponsiveness under
load; DAB signal quality still antenna-limited; 24 KB `nvs` partition
may be undersized (`saveProfile()` `store_failed` seen intermittently,
error code never captured).
