1c95243e52 feat: gyro bias calibration on boot — fixes yaw drift (issues #21, #23)
On boot, before the main loop, sample 1000 gyro readings (~1s) while
board is held still. Compute per-axis mean offset (sensor-frame raw LSBs)
and subtract from all subsequent readings in mpu6000_read().

- mpu6000_calibrate(): LED1+LED2 solid ON during 1s sample window,
  resets filter state to zero once bias is known
- mpu6000_is_calibrated(): gate; main loop blocks arming and USB
  streaming until calibration completes
- Bias subtracted in sensor frame before CW270 axis transform + scale,
  so all three axes (pitch/roll/yaw rate) benefit
- config.h: GYRO_CAL_SAMPLES=1000
- No flash storage — recalibrate fresh each boot (bias varies with temp)

Closes #21 (3.5°/s yaw drift), #23 (gyro bias calibration on boot).

80a41e5008 feat: motor driver layer — differential drive, steer ramp, estop
Adds motor_driver.c/h between the balance PID and the raw
hoverboard UART driver:

- Differential drive: balance_cmd → speed, steer_cmd → steer
- Steer-only ramping at MOTOR_STEER_RAMP_RATE (balance PID keeps
  full immediate authority — no ramp on speed channel)
- Headroom clamp: reduces steer so |speed|+|steer|<=MOTOR_CMD_MAX
  ensuring ESC never clips the balance command
- Emergency stop: latches on TILT_FAULT, clears on BALANCE_DISARMED;
  send path stays in 50Hz ESC tick to avoid flooding UART

main.c: replace bare hoverboard_send() with motor_driver_update();
config.h: MOTOR_CMD_MAX=1000, MOTOR_STEER_RAMP_RATE=20 counts/ms
