njord 9149761c82 Add Zephyr RTOS port of OpenLaserTag remote control
Port the MicroPython firmware to a maintainable Zephyr C application under
zephyr_app/, alongside the untouched original reference implementation.

- OLT IR protocol in pure C (olt_proto) with a host unit test
- buttons, piezo, RGB PWM, battery ADC, IR TX (software 56 kHz carrier),
  IR RX (edge-capture + timeout decode), and gated BLE Nordic UART service
- uasyncio tasks mapped to Zephyr threads / workqueues / k_timer
- rpi_pico overlay (full) plus esp32 and nucleo_f401re stubs
- prj.conf / Kconfig / overlay-ble.conf build configuration
- docs/migration-notes.md: hardware inventory, module/API maps, open questions
