Install bleak by default, so Bluetooth works from a plain pip install - #111

Conversation
pyproject.toml says every capability comes with a default install, but ble:// needed a separate pip install bleak. bleak is now a dependency, bounded to the majors mpftp has been run on (1.x for Python 3.9, 3.x today). The docs say where it still has to be installed by hand: the Windows Python the sidecar uses on WSL, and the extension's Python.

>=1.0,<4: mpftp calls bleak's API (BleakScanner.discover(return_adv=True),find_device_by_filter,BleakClient), and 1.x is what Python 3.9 resolves to while 3.x is current. Resolved with uv for Python 3.9 and 3.12 on Linux, Windows and macOS: 1.1.1 on 3.9 and 3.0.2 on 3.12, each with its platform backend (dbus-fast, winrt, pyobjc). A fresh 3.12 venv withpip install .imports bleak andmpftp.blefinds it.Two places still need it by hand, and the docs now say so: on WSL the sidecar runs on the Windows Python, because Windows owns the radio; and the VS Code extension bundles only mpremote and pyserial, since bleak has native parts per platform.
