Swap combo button tiers: quick press resets, ~3s hold shows menu
Firmware build check / build-check (push) Successful in 2m45s
Build and release firmware / build-and-release (push) Successful in 2m45s

Quick reset is now the fast/default action; summoning the management
menu takes a deliberate hold. Factory reset at ~15s is unchanged.
Renamed FRAME_COMBO_SOFT_RESET_HOLD_MS -> FRAME_COMBO_MENU_HOLD_MS to
match its new meaning. Bumps firmware to 1.4.1.
