Adds gitea_ota_check_task on Balance board: fetches Gitea releases API
every 30 min and on boot, filters by esp32-balance/ and esp32-io/ tag
prefixes, compares semver against embedded FW version, stores update info
(version string, download URL, SHA256) in g_balance_update / g_io_update.
WiFi credentials read from NVS namespace "wifi"; falls back to compile-time
DEFAULT_WIFI_SSID/PASS if NVS is empty.

Add dual OTA partitions (ota_0/ota_1 × 1.75 MB each) and otadata to
both esp32s3/balance/ and esp32s3/io/ on 4 MB flash layouts.
Enable CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE and OTA HTTP on Balance.
Create esp32s3/io/ project scaffold with config.h pin assignments.

Replaces Orin↔ESP32-S3 BALANCE CAN comms (0x300-0x303 / 0x400-0x401)
with binary serial framing over CH343 USB-CDC at 460800 baud.
Protocol matches bd-wim1 (sl-perception) exactly:
Frame: [0xAA][LEN][TYPE][PAYLOAD][CRC8-SMBUS]
CRC covers LEN+TYPE+PAYLOAD, big-endian multi-byte fields.
Commands (Orin→ESP32): HEARTBEAT/DRIVE/ESTOP/ARM/PID
Telemetry (ESP32→Orin): TELEM_STATUS, TELEM_VESC_LEFT (ID 56),
TELEM_VESC_RIGHT (ID 68), ACK/NACK
VESC CAN TWAI kept for motor control; drive commands from Orin
forwarded to VESCs via SET_RPM. Hardware note: SN65HVD230
rewired from IO43/44 to IO2/IO1 to free IO43/44 for CH343.
