Pico runs all 9 mood animations and jaw modes locally instead of
receiving per-LED serial commands from the Pi. New protocol: bare
integers for fire-and-forget jaw amplitude, "mood X" / "jaw X" for
mode switches. Cuts light_service.py from 409 to 193 lines.

- Added firmware/main.py (MicroPython for Pico 2)
- Updated light_service.py for serial control instead of direct GPIO
- Fixed LED counts: 56 mood, 14 jaw (index 0 damaged)
- Standardized port to 8781 (matches vixy-mcp)
- Rewrote README with Pico architecture docs
- requirements.txt now just pyserial
RIP to the 4 BeagleBones who gave their lives.
Welcome, little $5 Pico. Please don't catch fire.
