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.

## Post-0.8.5 HIL work (first real PCB, not in the table above)
The board arrived and most of Slice 38's HIL assumptions turned out to be
wrong in ways that needed real fixes, not just testing. Summary (full
detail in `docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md`):
- **Si4684 total RF blackout, root-caused and fixed.** `writeCommand()`'s
ARG1 byte was mis-offset across FM/DAB tune, seek, DAB service commands,
and several ARG1-only status/ack commands — the chip answered every
command correctly but never actually tuned. Real FM lock, real DAB
ensemble lock (3+ ensembles), real audio confirmed live.
- **Si4684→ADAU1701 digital audio silence, fixed.** `PIN_CONFIG_ENABLE`
had both I2SOUTEN and DACOUTEN set (chip falls back to unused analog
out per AN649); `SerialInputRegister` IBP polarity was wrong (ADAU
sampling on the wrong BCLK edge).
- **DAB service list, two rounds of offset bugs fixed.** Response-parsing
offsets were wrong in a way that made `GET_DIGITAL_SERVICE_LIST` return
empty/garbled; confirmed live with 22 real, correctly-decoded station
labels. Also found `DAB_EVENT_INTERRUPT_SOURCE` (property 0xB300) was
never configured, so the service-list-ready event could never fire.
- **BT1035 total boot silence, root cause found and fixed (2026-08-20).**
Not a hardware fault: VBAT_IN/SYS_CTRL/VDD_IO/1.8V_OUT and TX/RX wiring
were all independently confirmed correct with a multimeter (SYS_CTRL
and 1.8V_OUT readings pinned down by probing the nearest decoupling cap
instead of the tiny 0.5mm-pitch castellated pad directly, which had
given a false "regulator dead" reading earlier). The actual bug: 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 powering up. The old code only waited 3.5s
before cutting power and restarting the whole sequence, so across every
prior session the module never once got the chance to finish booting.
Fixed by waiting up to 25s (`kBootBannerWaitMs`) for the banner before
giving up; boot now succeeds on the first attempt, no retries needed.
- **FM front-end calibration.** The board's actual matching network
differs from the AN851 reference the chip's auto-tune constants assume.
Swept ANTCAP (AN851 Appendix A) and found a fixed override that beats
auto-tune by 611 dB RSSI/SNR across the whole band; persisted to the
24AA025E48 EEPROM (`POST /api/tuner/calibrate-antenna`) and applied by
default to every FM tune.
- **New features, not in the original Slice plan:** full FM band scan
(`POST /api/tuner/scan/full`), generic ADAU1701 parameter access
(`GET`/`PUT /api/dsp/param`, an escape hatch onto any SigmaStudio cell
beyond the curated mixer/EQ API), phone PCM streaming
(`PUT /api/stream/phone`), BLE Wi-Fi provisioning
(`net::ble_provisioning`, ESP-IDF's own `wifi_provisioning` over the
ESP32-S3's onboard BLE, additive alongside the SoftAP), web radio
streaming stutter fix (batched I2S writes).
- **Still open**: intermittent multi-second HTTP unresponsiveness under
load (candidate cause: a blocking Si4684 SPI wait colliding with
`max_open_sockets=3`); DAB signal quality still antenna-limited even
after calibration; NVS partition (24 KB) may be undersized given the
accumulated write traffic (`saveProfile()` `store_failed` seen
intermittently, never root-caused).
Next work: keep chasing the open items above as the user prioritises them,
not new features unless requested.
- **Blockers first** — state risks before solutions.
- **One vertical slice at a time** — `main` always builds; host tests green.
