🏠Dual build for Funhouse - OTA(deprecated) and NoOTA partition scheme

This will be the last release for the FunHouse using the OTA (Over The Air) partition scheme.

We are using more firmware space and need to switch to the No OTA (noota) partition scheme. The new build has a _noota suffix in the filename. Device updates performed via the Adafruit IO website should allow a seamless transition.

• Add funhouse-noota build target by @tyeth in #553

👷 Miscellaneous Fixes

• Sensors now send a value when first initialised rather than only after the elapsed polling period
  -- "Initial tweaking of previous poll period" by @tyeth in #512

• Proximity sensors will now return NaN when a target is not present / out of range
  -- "Always return proximity result, or NaN if we know it's bad" by @tyeth in #537

• Analog potentiometers and other components will now be more sensitive to change (threshold reduces to 2%)
  -- "Change AnalogIO DEFAULT_HYSTERESIS to 0.02" by @tyeth in #555

🛠️ Less Red Lights of Doom & Better Debug messages

• If the board halts due to an error, it now repeats the error message on the Serial port every second, so now you can connect the serial monitor after experiencing an issue.
• When initialising the file system, if there is a problem then it will aggressively recreate a new filesystem to ensure the user can continue to setup their WipperSnapper secrets file.

About this pre-release

Why are we releasing this as a pre-release before publishing next week?

This is a special release for those using ESP32-Sx devices with WipperSnapper. We've updated WipperSnapper to be built off the absolute latest version of the Arduino ESP32 core -V3.0. However, the official Arduino ESP32 version 3.0.0 is currently an alpha and includes potentially breaking changes.

We'd like to get this into the hands of people who actively use WipperSnapper and want the absolute latest firmware version. Internally, our WipperSnapper team will also be using this pre-release for their projects and builds.

What does this include?

For ESP32-x devices, WipperSnapper is now based on ESP-IDF v5.1 (release notes). At the time of writing, Espressif has released two versions of the Arduino ESP32 Core alpha v3.0.0 - alpha 1 and alpha 2. We've migrated our firmware to match the core API changes and updates for these alpha releases.

Breaking Changes in Alpha

Adafruit FunHouse ESP32-S2: The process for installing Alpha 74 on the FunHouse is different than the other boards since we've made the partition for WipperSnapper larger, and removed a partition for an OTA binary in the process.  The installation is currently for advanced users only. It will be the usual drag/drop install process for the beta release.

• You will need to install the latest arduino-esp32 core from GitHub.
• From Arduino IDE, select "TinyUF2 No OTA" in the partition scheme menu and upload any sketch to the FunHouse.
• Then, drag and drop the alpha 74 UF2 file to the HOUSEBOOT volume

How do I upgrade my firmware?

Find the UF2 file for your WipperSnapper Device, and drag/drop the UF2 file to your device's DEVICEBOOT volume.

I found a bug! How do I report this to the Adafruit IO WipperSnapper Team?
