fix(ble): connect via BlueZ D-Bus instead of bleak direct connect

bleak inside Docker cannot initiate new BLE connections — it can only
take over connections already established by BlueZ.  Replace the
force-disconnect approach with a connect-via-BlueZ approach:

1. _ble_ensure_connected() connects the device via BlueZ D-Bus
   (Device1.Connect) before bleak tries to take over
2. BleakScanner.find_device_by_address() provides the BLEDevice
   object that bleak 3.x needs (raw MAC address doesn't work)
3. MeshCore.create_ble(device=...) takes over the BlueZ connection

On reconnect after disconnect:
1. Power-cycle adapter clears stale GATT notification handles
2. BlueZ re-connects the trusted device automatically
3. bleak takes over the re-established connection
