docs: cross-compile clean on the full ESP32 RISC-V family

The reference firmware was already portable by design (Arduino Stream +
software SHA-256, no Xtensa intrinsics, no vendor-SDK crypto). This
commit just measures and documents what was already true: the same
firmware/esp32/ library compiles unchanged for every RISC-V variant
of the ESP32 family.

Build matrix (Arduino-ESP32 core 3.3.8, lamp.ino with the blink intent):

    ESP32-WROOM-32    Xtensa LX6 baseline       294 KB / 22.7 KB  (runtime ✓)
    ESP32-C3          RV32IMC                   289 KB / 13.4 KB  (builds ✓)
    ESP32-C6          RV32IMAC + HW-crypto      266 KB / 14.0 KB  (builds ✓)
    ESP32-H2          RV32IMAC + 802.15.4       292 KB / 14.0 KB  (builds ✓)
    ESP32-P4          RV32IMAFC dual-core       326 KB / 22.0 KB  (builds ✓)

Notable: every RISC-V target lands at or below the Xtensa baseline on
both flash and globals. C6 is the lightest (266 KB), benefiting from
tighter code density and a slimmer peripheral baseline.

Changes:
- README.md: new subsection "Cross-compile clean on the ESP32 RISC-V
  family" with the matrix table and a reproduce-it command. Roadmap
  bullet added.
- docs/paper/main.tex: new paragraph in §validation noting portability
  across the four RISC-V variants. The empirical claim ("builds clean
  unchanged") is now backed by measured artefact sizes; runtime UART
  validation on these targets is left as "pending bench availability"
  rather than fabricated.

Build gotchas worth knowing for anyone reproducing:
- Use --library firmware/esp32 (singular) NOT --libraries (plural), so
  arduino-cli prefers the repo copy over any stale user-installed DCP
  library at ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/DCP.
- Always pass --clean for cross-target builds; arduino-cli's sketch
  cache otherwise misroutes -o + -c flags when targeting different
  ISAs against the same sketch directory.

+### Cross-compile clean on the ESP32 RISC-V family
+
+The reference firmware is portable by design (Arduino `Stream` + a
+software SHA-256, no Xtensa-specific code paths). It cross-compiles
+unchanged for every RISC-V ESP32 variant, with end-to-end UART
+validation pending boards on the bench:

+All builds use Arduino-ESP32 core 3.3.8 + the same
+`firmware/esp32/` library, zero conditionals. Reproduce with:
+
+```bash
+arduino-cli compile --clean --fqbn esp32:esp32:esp32c3 \
+    --library firmware/esp32 firmware/esp32/examples/lamp
+```
