HKG: document 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid

[dhimmel]

Document the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid as supported under the existing KIA_SPORTAGE_5TH_GEN platform.

Current stock openpilot already identifies this vehicle exactly as KIA_SPORTAGE_5TH_GEN from its firmware and applies the correct CAN-FD, hybrid, camera-SCC, and alternate-button configuration. This PR therefore adds only the missing consumer-facing support entry; it does not change fingerprinting, tuning, controller behavior, or safety limits.

Expand for route and fingerprinting details

The fully uploaded route contains approximately 11.4 minutes of engaged lateral control, including highway driving up to approximately 68 mph and demanding curves. It produced no CAN, steering, vehicle-sensor, or panda faults and no lateral-controller saturation. Physical achieved/requested lateral acceleration had a regression slope of 1.021 overall and 1.013 above 50 mph.

The exact PHEV powertrain is visible in this vehicle's logged HVAC firmware through the markers NQ5PH and NQ5PHEV. That ECU is currently logging-only and is not needed for this documentation-only change because the existing shared Sportage configuration performs correctly.

Some history: I originally submitted the fingerprint and routes for the 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV in commaai/openpilot#30575. @sunnyhaibin implemented the port and moved it to #1138, where @jyoung8607 summarized the remaining lateral-response and stock-alert issues at #1138 (comment). @sshane @xtian and @radicaldancool provided review and additional testing and firmware data.

That implementation used camera firmware 99211-P1060 680 to select a 170-unit steering limit. The same firmware was later found on a Sportage Hybrid in #2974, so it cannot uniquely identify the PHEV. More importantly, the current stock route did not reproduce the lateral-response or alert issues and shows that commands above 170 are occasionally useful.

If the PHEV ever needs to be distinguished, its logged HVAC firmware contains the explicit markers NQ5PH and NQ5PHEV. HVAC is currently logging-only, so it is not used by the generic matcher. For now, a separate documentation entry on the shared Sportage platform follows the same approach as the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid in commaai/openpilot#32440.
