fix: warn of radio pins that block flashing over USB

GPIO2 on the original ESP32, 46 on the S2/S3 and 8 on the C3/C6 don't stop
a normal boot, but held at the wrong level at reset they keep esptool from
starting the download mode.  The WT32-ETH01 wiring puts TX on GPIO2.

Each warning now says what the pin does and what to do: move it for a pin
that stops the boot, disconnect it to flash for one that only blocks USB.
