Validation for RAK13800 Ethernet Companion Targets

Validate the canonical targets:

• RAK_RAK13800_companion_radio_eth
• RAK_RAK13800_companion_radio_eth_static_diag

What to Verify

• The target name is the RAK13800 board-support name, not a generic RAK4631 label.
• The build still extends the RAK4631 PlatformIO environment.
• The static diagnostic target keeps:
  • IP 10.245.94.47
  • Gateway 10.245.94.33
  • DNS 10.245.94.33
  • Subnet 255.255.255.224
  • TCP port 4403
  • ETH_STATIC_ONLY=1
  • ETH_DEBUG_LOGGING=1
• The production target uses:
  • DHCP first or DHCP with static fallback
  • TCP port 4403
  • ETH_DEBUG_LOGGING=0
  • FORCE_CLIENT_REPEAT=0
  • MAX_CONTACTS=128 unless RAM testing proves a higher value is safe

Compatibility Check

• Keep RAK_4631_companion_radio_eth_clean as an alias to RAK_RAK13800_companion_radio_eth if older scripts still use it.
• Keep RAK_4631_companion_radio_eth_static_diag as an alias to RAK_RAK13800_companion_radio_eth_static_diag if older scripts still use it.
