tsb: reimplement TinySafeBoot on libavr in three size tiers

The native-UART fixed-baud TinySafeBoot protocol, ported onto libavr as a
crt-free boot-section loader, in three variants that trade clarity for size:

  tsb_pure   740 B  idiomatic C++: SRAM page buffer, separate flash/EEPROM
                    leaves, shared framing; the polled `unused` guard posture.
  tsb_tricks 658 B  unified runtime-flag paths (noinline/noclone), call-saved
                    global-register page walk — attributes only, no asm.
  tsb_asm    508 B  streaming store + hand-rolled UART/SPM/EEPROM/erase loops;
                    fits the 512 B boot section (BOOTSZ=11). Trims the optional
                    password gate and WDT-reset bail — unreachable in C++ with
                    both (hand-asm is ~15 % denser). Tiers 1-2 keep them and
                    live in the 1 KB section they fit.

All three are .text byte-identical across libavr's generated and reflect modes.
The CMake build strips the leaked -O3 (a Release build is silently -O3, not the
-Os this loader is measured against) and gates each variant's size against its
section. A simavr harness (test/device.c + test/tsbtest.py) drives the real wire
protocol over a pty and flashes the device; the size and protocol tests run in
ctest. Verified byte-for-byte against the reference tsbloader_adv (C#/mono):
activate, read info, flash write + verify.

// TinySafeBoot on libavr — tier 2: C++ with compiler trickery.
//
// Same protocol and libavr surface as the pure variant (tsb_pure.cpp), but the
// readable one-handler-per-command shape is traded for size: flash and EEPROM
// share a single code path selected by a *runtime* flag decoded from the
// command byte, so the compiler cannot constant-propagate it into two clones.
// Attributes pin that sharing down (noinline/noclone) and the hot page pointer
// and byte counter are pinned to call-saved registers to erase the prologue
// push/pop that C++ function decomposition otherwise pays. No inline assembly.
#include <libavr/libavr.hpp>
