Summary

Adds a documentation page for the ARKV6S flight controller, modeled on the existing ARKV6X page. Target support already merged in #26631.

Problem

The ARKV6S target has shipped but has no PX4 documentation.

Solution

The ARKV6S is a low-cost, single-IMU variant of the ARKV6X — same STM32H743 MCU and PAB form factor, with one Invensense IIM-42653 on SPI1, an ST IIS2MDC magnetometer and Bosch BMP390 barometer on I2C4, and a single sensor power rail.

The new page is also linked from the manufacturer-supported list, the PAB-compatible flight controllers list, the ethernet-capable controllers list, and SUMMARY.md / _sidebar.md.

Drop in docs/assets/flight_controller/arkv6s/ark_v6s_front.jpg
so the page renders the board photo it already references, and
align the intro with the upstream description by spelling out
that the V6S is the single-IMU variant of the V6X.
Add the bootloader serial port note (TELEM1-only in bootloader mode)
to the ARKV6S docs, matching the ARKV6X docs. Also fix the ARKV6X
MCU spec listing "1MB Flash" instead of "1MB RAM".
