01c5e0930e Guard env:versapad's upload against overwriting the bootloader
pio run -e versapad --target upload writes the app starting at
0x0000 and silently destroyed the installed UF2 bootloader twice
today during testing -- no warning, no error, just a board that
stopped responding to the boot-key hold.

upload_openocd.py now checks for the bootloader (verify_image against
the locally built bootloader/.pio/build/versapad_bootloader/firmware.bin)
before an env:versapad upload and refuses if one is present, pointing
at env:versapad_usb instead. Fails closed: an inconclusive check (e.g.
bootloader not built locally, SWD not responding) blocks rather than
proceeding on a guess -- confirmed necessary the hard way, since a
"fail open" first attempt let the destructive upload through silently.
Scoped to PIOENV == "versapad" only, since bootloader/platformio.ini's
own upload reuses this same script and must always be allowed to write
0x0000. A new erase-bootloader-and-flash custom target remains as the
explicit, deliberate override.

Documented the workflow (bootloader is its own PlatformIO project,
flashed once via SWD; versapad_usb is the normal path afterward;
versapad's upload is now guarded) in README.md and
doc/10_usb_bootloader.md.
