[docs] clarify functions available in `esp32` per chip type

docs

Various functions of the esp32 module are not available, depending on the chip type, e.g. hall_sensor and raw_temperature are not available on a C3 chip.

The ESP32 module documentation should be clarified to cover these differences.

(this is a reminder to myself, to send some contributions here)

Assessment

Q Qwen · high

Issue #8487 specifically requests documentation clarifying which esp32 module functions (like hall_sensor and raw_temperature) are available on different chip types (e.g., C3 vs others). PR #16468 improves the ESP32 README by listing supported chip models and fixing grammar, but it does not address the specific API availability differences or document which functions are missing on specific chips. While both relate to ESP32 documentation, the PR does not resolve the specific problem raised in the issue.

Suggested action

Keep issue #8487 open. The PR #16468 is a good improvement but does not fulfill the specific request to document chip-specific API availability. A new PR or update to the issue is needed to address the `hall_sensor` and `raw_temperature` availability differences.
