Chuck 33f76b4895 feat(pi5): RP1 backend UI, gpio slowdown guidance, and hardware init error banner (#337)
* feat(pi5): expose RP1 backend selector, fix gpio defaults, surface init failures in web UI

- Add rp1_rio select (PIO/RIO) to Display Settings hardware config section;
  saved via /api/v3/config/main with 0-or-1 validation — previously the key
  existed in config.json but was not editable from the UI
- Update gpio_slowdown help text with per-model guidance (Pi 3: 3, Pi 4: 4,
  Pi 5: 4–5) and raise max from 5 → 10 to match full library range
- Fix gpio_slowdown Python fallback default from 2 → 3 (only affects edge case
  where the runtime config section is absent; explicit config values are unchanged)
- display_manager writes /tmp/led_matrix_hw_status.json at startup: ok/error;
  Display Settings page fetches it and shows a yellow warning banner when the
  matrix failed to initialize, including Pi 5 remediation steps
- Add GET /api/v3/hardware/status endpoint that reads the status file
- Improve fallback error log to include Pi 5 rebuild hint

Pi 3/4 users: rp1_rio=0 is set in config but silently ignored by the library
on non-RP1 hardware; all other changes are additive or tighten defaults only.

* fix(pi5): correct gpio_slowdown guidance — Pi 5 PIO default is 1, not 4-5

The upstream library defaults gpio_slowdown to 1 for Pi 5 (IsPi4() ? 2 : 1).
In PIO mode the value is a pixel-clock divisor, so 4-5 was unnecessarily
conservative advice. Updated help text and error log to reflect the actual
range (1-3 typical for Pi 5 PIO; inverted effect in RIO mode).

* fix(security): atomic hw-status write, narrow bare excepts, urllib3 CVE floor

- display_manager: replace open()+bare-except with tempfile.mkstemp→fsync→
  chmod(0o600)→os.replace; adds symlink guard and logs errors via logger
  instead of swallowing them silently; pull json/tempfile to module imports
- display_manager cleanup(): narrow broad `except Exception: pass` to
  (OSError, RuntimeError, ValueError, MemoryError) with debug log
- api_v3 get_hardware_status(): catch json.JSONDecodeError and PermissionError
  explicitly; log full traceback server-side; return generic "Unable to read
  hardware status" to client instead of leaking str(e)
- march-madness/requirements.txt: bump urllib3 floor 2.2.2→2.6.3 (CVE fix)

* fix(template): apply |int filter to rp1_rio comparisons in display.html

Without |int, a string-typed value (e.g. from a hand-edited config.json)
causes both selected tests to fail and the select renders with no option
pre-selected. Matches the existing pattern used for multiplexing.
