hal: route BLE FW flashing through Memory HAL

Add BleFirmwareSlot, BLE_FW_FLASH_CHUNK_SIZE, and
ble_firmware_flash_chunk() to the Memory trait as higher level
concepts.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a software architecture refactor: it moves the Bluetooth firmware flashing logic behind a higher-level 'Memory HAL' interface. It does not change the actual security behavior of the firmware upgrade process; it only reorganizes the code so that the same operations go through a trait method instead of being called directly. There is no indication this fixes a vulnerability or introduces a new one.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality refactor. If auditing Bluetooth firmware upgrade security, focus on the unchanged authorization and verification logic in bluetooth.rs rather than this HAL abstraction.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor only: same underlying SPI write call with same addresses and chunk size

02

Added chunk length and address-overflow validation in trait implementation

03

No change to upgrade authorization (hardcoded ALLOWED_HASH remains in bluetooth.rs)

04

No vendor security disclosure or advisory referenced
