One text fix to the esptool write step on the firmware page.

Boards whose USB port goes straight to the chip (the LilyGO T-Embed S3, the native port of the ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-7) need download mode before esptool can reach them. The step now says: hold BOOT, press and release RESET, then release BOOT, and that the port's COM number can change in download mode. Boards with a USB-serial bridge chip do not need this. The board data has no native-USB field, so it is one general sentence with those two boards named.

Targets the firmware-page-staged branch, which is not served. Rendered locally: the sentence appears in the esptool steps for the T-Embed S3, no console errors.
