ESP32-C3

ESP32-C3 support is currently under investigation and is not considered supported in v0.8.0.

Initial tests confirmed working BLE communication, but RMT LED output showed occasional flicker and spurious pixels when using the BLE-compatible framework. C3 support will be addressed separately.

This release provides the stable baseline for future hardware targets and larger display profiles.
