Add Arduino IDE setup documentation for 112025 projects

[Copilot]

Issue requested Arduino IDE setup instructions for 112025 projects, specifically how to install required libraries (ArduinoJson, LittleFS, etc.).

New Installation Guides

Created comprehensive setup documentation for both 112025 projects:

• Client: TankAlarm-112025-Client-BluesOpta/INSTALLATION.md
• Server: TankAlarm-112025-Server-BluesOpta/INSTALLATION.md

Each guide covers:

• Arduino IDE installation and board manager setup (Arduino Mbed OS Opta Boards)
• Required libraries with exact versions:
  • ArduinoJson 7.x (breaking changes from v6)
  • Blues Wireless Notecard (latest)
  • Ethernet (server only)
  • Built-in: LittleFS, Wire
• Compilation, upload, and verification steps
• Troubleshooting common errors

Quick Start READMEs

Added project overviews with quick start guides:

• TankAlarm-112025-Client-BluesOpta/README.md
• TankAlarm-112025-Server-BluesOpta/README.md

Updated References

• Main README.md - Added 112025 section with installation links
• QUICK_REFERENCE_FLEET_SETUP.md - Added IDE setup section
• ARDUINO_COMPILATION_GUIDE.md - Added 112025 compilation commands and troubleshooting

Key Details

Arduino Opta requires Mbed OS core, not SAMD:

arduino-cli core install arduino:mbed_opta
arduino-cli lib install "[email protected]"
arduino-cli lib install "Blues Wireless Notecard"
arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:mbed_opta:opta TankAlarm-112025-Client-BluesOpta/

LittleFS is built into Mbed core (no separate installation needed). ArduinoJson v7 is required (v6 incompatible).

@copilot should we remove #include <LittleFS.h> from the .ino? and what about IWatchdog.h ?

Your comment appears to be incomplete. Could you clarify which #include statement you're referring to and in which file? The documentation I added doesn't contain code with #include statements - it only references library names for users to install via the Arduino Library Manager.
