feat: NoteConnect

[zfields]

We need a way to ensure we are talking to the Notecard, before sending traffic. This is necessary for first boot, as the Notecard is unavailable for CRC validation.

This provides an abstraction over NoteReset, which is the preferred replacement of the deprecated *WithRetry APIs.

Pull request overview

This pull request introduces a new NoteConnect() function to establish connection with the Notecard before sending traffic, particularly for handling first boot scenarios where the Notecard may be unavailable for CRC validation. The PR also deprecates the older *WithRetry APIs in favor of using NoteConnect() followed by standard request functions.

Changes:

• Added NoteConnect() function that retries NoteReset() with timeout-based retry logic
• Deprecated NoteRequestResponseWithRetry() and NoteRequestWithRetry() functions with appropriate documentation updates
• Moved NoteReset() documentation from implementation to header file
