One firmware: the Debug Console in every build, off until switched on, with the device's own token

There is no Debug Build any more (ADR 0010, issue #68, Q188 to Q195). The
console and the test commands are compiled into every firmware. It listens
only while Settings > Debug Console is on, which isn't the default; off,
neither its task nor its 4 KB ring exists. The token is made by the device
and shown on that page; a client proves it knows it by answering a challenge
with an HMAC, so it never crosses the network, and five wrong answers close
the console for a minute. DBG in the Status Bar while it listens.

Over USB serial only: debug on, debug token <value>, debug token new.
scripts/flash.sh --debug uses them to set a device up with the developer's
token. scripts/rdbg.py takes the token from -t, $RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN or the
file, answers the challenge, and fetches a release's ELF to decode a crash.

Gone: the cardputer-adv-debug environment, RORO_DEBUG, the +debug version,
scripts/debug_flags.py, update install ... force, and the rule that a Debug
Build doesn't install releases. Old clients and old firmwares don't talk to
each other.

Against the builds it replaces: 30 KB more flash and 88 bytes more static
RAM than the release, 4 KB less RAM than the Debug Build. 468 host tests.
Checked on the device: off by default, login, the pause after wrong tokens,
Safe Mode with the console, the setting surviving an update, debug off.

- `roro9stack-<version>.ota`, the signed Update File;
- `roro9stack-<version>-factory.bin`, the whole flash image for a first install over USB;
- `roro9stack-<version>.elf.gz`, to decode crash reports from that build;
- `SHA256SUMS`.
CI signs with the project's key, held as a repository secret (ADR 0008). Debug Builds are built but never published: each carries its builder's Debug Console token.
CI signs with the project's key, held as a repository secret (ADR 0008). There is one firmware: the Debug Console is in every build, switched off until its owner switches it on (ADR 0010).
`scripts/ota_verify.py <file.ota>` checks an Update File on a PC the way a device does. `scripts/release_build.sh` and `scripts/release_publish.py` are what the workflow runs; they work the same by hand.
