J. Nick Koston 78aabf257f [core] wake_loop_threadsafe() forces a component-phase iteration
After the Phase A / Phase B split in this PR, an external producer that
called wake_loop_threadsafe() (MQTT RX, USB RX, BLE event, espnow,
camera, mWW, speakers, USB host/CDC, lwip socket, enable_loop_soon_any_context)
only got Phase A — the component phase stayed gated by loop_interval_,
so the producer's component loop() could be delayed by up to
loop_interval_ ms before draining its queued work. That breaks the
long-standing semantic of wake_loop_threadsafe().

Add a wake_request flag set by every wake_loop_* entry point and
exchange-cleared at the gate in Application::loop(). When the flag is
set, force Phase B regardless of loop_interval_.

Storage is conditional on the threading model:
  - ESPHOME_THREAD_MULTI_ATOMICS: std::atomic<uint8_t> (uint8_t, not
    bool, because GCC on Xtensa generates an indirect call for
    atomic<bool> ops — same workaround as scheduler.h)
  - ESPHOME_THREAD_SINGLE / ESPHOME_THREAD_MULTI_NO_ATOMICS: volatile
    uint8_t (8-bit aligned loads/stores are atomic on every supported
    MCU; the platform signal that follows wake_request_set provides the
    cross-thread/cross-core memory barrier)

Helpers (wake_request_set / wake_request_take) are always_inline so
IRAM_ATTR call sites stay in IRAM. Set BEFORE the platform signal so the
consumer is guaranteed to see the flag on its next gate check.

Adds an integration test that raises loop_interval_ to 2s, snapshots a
counting component's loop count, spawns a std::thread that calls
App.wake_loop_threadsafe() after 50ms, and asserts the count increments
inside a 500ms observation window. Without the fix the count would not
move for ~2s.

"""Test that wake_loop_threadsafe() forces a component-phase iteration.
Regression test for the wake-request flag added to Application::loop()'s
Phase A / Phase B gate. Background producers (MQTT RX, USB RX, BLE event,
etc.) call App.wake_loop_threadsafe() expecting their component's loop()
to drain queued work; if the component phase stays gated by loop_interval_,
the work waits up to loop_interval_ ms instead of running on the next tick.
Setup:
- App.set_loop_interval(2000) — a wide gate that would clearly mask the bug.
- A test component spawns a detached std::thread that sleeps 50 ms and then
calls App.wake_loop_threadsafe() from a non-main thread.
- The on_boot block snapshots the component's loop counter before/after a
500 ms observation window.
Without the fix, delta=0 (the gate holds Phase B for ~2 s).
With the fix, delta>=1 (the wake forces Phase B within one tick of the wake).
