Subject: [PATCH] Add firmware staging to deploy and release workflows

Both deploy and release workflows now checkout the XRP_Firmware repository and stage the firmware boards content into the public/firmware-loader/boards directory before building. This ensures the firmware-loader has the necessary board data and prevents 404s on the released site.
