[PXCT-1579] Nesso N1 - cloud updates

[91volt]

Summary

This PR updates the Nesso N1 user manual to clarify that currently the board can be programmed with the desktop Arduino IDE, is compatible with Arduino IoT Cloud as a Manual Device, and is not yet supported by the Arduino Cloud Editor.

What changed

• Software requirements

  • Removed Arduino Cloud Editor as a supported environment.
  • Clarified that Arduino IDE is required, version 2.0 or higher recommended.
  • Specified that the ESP32 boards core by Espressif must be version 3.3.3 or newer.

• Installation section

  • Updated wording to state that Nesso N1 is programmed through the desktop Arduino IDE.
  • Clarified that support for Nesso N1 requires ESP32 core version 3.3.3 or newer.
  • Adjusted Boards Manager steps to mention Install or Update and selecting Arduino Nesso N1 from the esp32 menu.

• Cloud Editor section

  • Replaced the previous description with a clear note that Nesso N1 is not yet supported in the Arduino Cloud Editor.
  • Instructed users to use the desktop Arduino IDE to compile and upload sketches.

• Arduino IoT Cloud section

  • Added a guide for using Nesso N1 with Arduino IoT Cloud as a Manual Device.
  • Described the flow to create a Manual Device, set up a Thing and Cloud variables, copy the generated sketch into the Arduino IDE, configure credentials in thingProperties.h, and upload using the Arduino Nesso N1 board.

Sketches are not generated for Things associated with "manual devices".

The user can use the ArduinoIoTCloud library's "ArduinoIoTCloud-Basic" example sketch as a starting point for implementing their own Thing sketch. That example is accessible by selecting File > Examples > ArduinoIoTCloud > ArduinoIoTCloud-Basic from the Arduino IDE menus.

Unfortunately that example is not very approachable to less technical users because the developers of the library added a bunch of preprocessor conditionals to make it support every possible type of Device.

Another thing that should be notes about the "ArduinoIoTCloud-Basic" example sketch is that it won't compile for the Nesso N1 as written. It can still serve as a starting point for a sketch, but it will be necessary to make This is the reason why I created my own demo sketch when providing support for Nesso N1 users wanting to use Arduino Cloud:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/nesso-n1-not-showing-on-arduino-cloud-editor-despite-the-manual-saying-so/1414912/8#p-8320889-d-create-thing-sketch-4

I also think that the "ArduinoIoTCloud-Basic" example sketch program is excessively complex for something named "basic". My desire is always to start with the absolute minimum "hello world", but Arduino tends to add additional complexity to the introductory examples and tutorials. The sketch I provide at the link above is the type of simple example I always hope to find in documentation.

It is true that the credentials can be configured via the thingProperties.h tab. However, the established convention is to do this via arduino_secrets.h (example). If the user is starting from a sketch that has arduino_secrets.h, I think it would be confusing for them to instead configure credentials via thingProperties.h.

The exception is that the convention is to define the Device ID via thingProperties.h (since this information is not a secret).
