The Ethernet retry loop in repeater and room server checked
hardwareStatus() and linkStatus() before calling Ethernet.begin(),
which always returned EthernetNoHardware since hardware detection
only happens during begin(). Extract shared Ethernet CLI code into
EthernetCLI.h to prevent future divergence. Also fix time_t type
mismatch in companion radio Ethernet init.

- Rename eth command to eth.status for consistency with other commands
- Rename generateDeviceMac to generateEthernetMac for clarity
- Refactor ethernet_handle_command to return false by default
- Allow new TCP clients to replace existing connections (repeater, room server, SerialEthernetInterface)
- Boot companion radio without Ethernet on init failure (LoRa-only recovery mode)
- Remove > prompt from ethernet CLI for consistency with serial interface
- Fix variable redeclaration compile error in SerialEthernetInterface when ETHERNET_STATIC_IP is defined
- Fix TCP socket leak when duplicate client detection fires
- Remove dead recv_queue and adv_restart_time members from SerialEthernetInterface
- Fix port numbers in docs (port 23 for repeater/room server CLI, port 5000 for companion radio)
- Clarify eth.status command is only available in repeater and room server firmware

- Rename TCP_PORT to ETH_TCP_PORT with #ifndef guard
- Fix typos: "initalizing" → "initializing"
- Fix #elif without condition → #else for STM32 block
- Replace infinite loop on ETH init failure with halt()
- Remove heartbeat Serial.print(".") output

Add W5100S Ethernet adapter support for RAK4631-based firmware, enabling
TCP CLI access on port 23 as an alternative to BLE/Serial connections.
- New SerialEthernetInterface for nRF52 with DHCP, reconnection handling,
and shared WB_IO2 power pin management with GPS module
- Ethernet build targets for repeater, room server, and companion firmware
- Prevent GPS from toggling WB_IO2 when Ethernet module is active
- CI build check for all three ETH firmware targets

Enable GPS time synchronization across all variants by passing
&rtc_clock to MicroNMEALocationProvider. When GPS gets a valid
fix, the RTC clock is now updated automatically every 30 minutes.
Updated 16 variants: rak4631, lilygo_tbeam_SX1262, rak_wismesh_tag,
lilygo_tbeam_supreme_SX1262, thinknode_m3, heltec_v4, thinknode_m1,
lilygo_tbeam_SX1276, meshadventurer, nano_g2_ultra, heltec_v3,
promicro, xiao_c3, heltec_tracker_v2, keepteen_lt1, heltec_mesh_solar.
Unless your GPS is being spoofed there isn't really a downside to
syncing more often with GPS.
I understand the RTC is very stable, but especially with powersaving now
clock drift is worse, we should sync more often.
