[esp32_ble] Work around gatt_main.c compile bug and add IDF to Arduino platformio.ini

Always enable CONFIG_BT_GATTS_ENABLE to work around an ESP-IDF 5.5.2.260206 bug in gatt_main.c where GATT_TRACE_DEBUG references 'msg_len' outside the GATTS_INCLUDED/GATTC_INCLUDED preprocessor guard, causing a compile error when both are disabled. Also add framework-espidf to the Arduino platform_packages in platformio.ini since Arduino builds use ESP-IDF as a component (framework = arduino, espidf).

- * platforms. The limitation below applies only to *streaming* chunked
- * responses where data arrives slowly over a long period.
- *
- * Streaming chunked responses are NOT supported (all platforms):
- *   The read helpers (http_read_loop_result, http_read_fully) block the main
- *   event loop until all response data is received. For streaming responses
- *   where data trickles in slowly (e.g., TTS streaming via ffmpeg proxy),
- *   this starves the event loop on both ESP-IDF and Arduino. If data arrives
- *   just often enough to avoid the caller's timeout, the loop runs
- *   indefinitely. If data stops entirely, ESP-IDF fails with
- *   -ESP_ERR_HTTP_EAGAIN (transport timeout) while Arduino spins with
- *   delay(1) until the caller's timeout fires. Supporting streaming requires
- *   a non-blocking incremental read pattern that yields back to the event
- *   loop between chunks. Components that need streaming should use
- *   esp_http_client directly on a separate FreeRTOS task with
- *   esp_http_client_is_complete_data_received() for completion detection
- *   (see audio_reader.cpp for an example).

- *       authoritative completion check for both chunked and non-chunked
- *       transfers. When esp_http_client_read() returns 0 for a completed
- *       chunked response, read() returns 0 and is_read_complete() returns
- *       true, so callers get COMPLETE from http_read_loop_result().
- *
