- Refactor PHY to be higher-level with a field focus (controller/peripheral address,
control byte, etc)
- Phy layer is now device address aware (ACK's automatically) (Hardens
previously ~implicit design to only support emulating one AVCLAN
unit per mockingboard build)
- Redesign `phy_active` => `phy_frame_pending` (to allow
asynchronous/buffered frame reads on pico) and embed within
Peripheral::read
- Add `deafen` function: like mute, but also ignore incoming messages (i.e.
don't receive/process at all). Makes `Bus::is_active` always return
`false`.
- Add debug bus driving functions

- Peripheral::read/send now return `expected<unique_ptr<Frame>, Error>`
for a unified success/error interface.
- Peripheral::route returns `expected<unique_ptr<Frame>, Error>` to
distinguish intent: (intentional) non-response vs unable to respond
- Other functions with optional message semantics (handle,poll,react)
return a unique_ptr whose ownership-state indicates response intent
(i.e. send new message)
Bundled necessary changes:
- Switch Frame allocation from global to local (enabled via member
function new/delete)
- Add new header-library tl::expected to shim avr-libstdcpp
Unrelated: Defensive `continue` added after `route`, to reduce Bus
activity check latency

Some knock-on changes to keep a simple design:
- Bake the data array into AVCLAN_frame_t
- Bundle the response/reaction with AVCLAN_frame_t
- (Needed to maintain correct/simple ownership semantics with the
cache and outgoing/incoming queues)
- Switch status frame update ticks to use a regular
cache-originating/owned frame
