nrf52: reclaim flash on the three targets nearest the warm-store cap (#11363)

* nrf52: drop BSEC2/BME68x from the three targets nearest the flash cap

nrf52_promicro_diy_tcxo has been failing the nrf52_warm_region guard on
develop since 2026-08-05 (image ends at 0xEA918, 2328 B past the 0xEA000
warm-store cap). rak4631 and rak_wismesh_repeater_mini are ~14 KiB clear
while the nrf52 fleet drifts ~2 KiB/day, so both are close behind.

lib_ignore bsec2 + BME68x Sensor library defeats BME680Sensor's
__has_include(<bsec2.h>) gate, recovering ~46 KiB on each:

  nrf52_promicro_diy_tcxo   0xEA918 (FAILED) -> 0xDF1A8, 43.6 KiB clear
  rak4631                   0xE6550          -> 0xDADE8, 60.0 KiB clear
  rak_wismesh_repeater_mini  0xE65AC         -> 0xDAE64, 59.9 KiB clear

This costs BME680/BME688 support, i.e. RAK1906 on WisBlock. It is a
temporary measure until the environmental sensor roster is opt-in per
board rather than linked into every target.

rak_wismesh_pocket inherits from env:rak4631 but has ~37 KiB clear, so it
is explicitly held at the nrf52 default and keeps BME680. Both lib_ignore
lists extend ${nrf52_base.lib_ignore} so BluetoothOTA and lvgl stay
ignored.

* nrf52: give the RAK boards BME680 back, drop their Ethernet instead

Excluding BSEC2 on rak4631 cost BME680/BME688 support, i.e. the RAK1906
WisBlock module - a common peripheral on the most popular nrf52 board. The
Ethernet stack is the better thing to lose: RAK13800 W5100S users are served
by the dedicated env:rak4631_eth_gw build, which has its own variant.h and
~163 KB clear, so the general-purpose image was carrying a networking stack
for hardware almost none of its users have.

rak_wismesh_pocket already set HAS_ETHERNET 0 for the same reason, so this
follows an existing in-tree precedent rather than inventing one.

  rak4631                    0xE6578 -> 0xE0D08, 35.7 KB clear (-21.6 KB)
  rak_wismesh_repeater_mini          -> 0xE0D58, 35.7 KB clear
  rak4631_eth_gw                     -> 0xC1050, 163 KB clear (unchanged)
  rak4631_eth_gw_dbg                 -> 0xC1210, 163 KB clear

That also brings rak4631 back under its declared flash budget in
bin/ram_budgets.json (766,216 vs 786,000 bytes), which develop is currently
failing - size-budget-gate is what has been ejecting PRs from the merge queue.

mqtt/ is deliberately kept: src/mqtt/MQTT.cpp carries both the networked
client (gated on HAS_NETWORKING, now 0) and the phone client-proxy path, so
dropping the directory would have removed MQTT-over-phone as well.

nrf52_promicro_diy_tcxo keeps the BSEC2 exclusion from the previous commit.
It has no Ethernet to reclaim - nrf52_base already filters mesh/eth, mesh/api
and mesh/wifi, and HAS_ETHERNET defaults to 0 - so the sensor library is the
only lever there. It goes 0xEA918 (FAILED) -> 0xDF1C0, 43.6 KB clear.

env:rak4631_eth_gw_dbg now extends env:rak4631_eth_gw rather than env:rak4631:
it already used the gateway env's build_flags and lib_deps, and only that env
still compiles mesh/eth + mesh/api.

* Address CodeRabbit review comments on PR #11363

- Condense the HAS_ETHERNET comment in rak4631/variant.h to one line
- Clarify rak4631/platformio.ini src-filter comment: Ethernet-free,
  not networking-free, since MQTT is retained
- Restore custom_meshtastic_* metadata on env:rak4631_eth_gw so
  env:rak4631_eth_gw_dbg (which now extends it) doesn't lose the
  hw_model/display metadata it previously inherited via env:rak4631
