tfaour 996e06e2bc Bump firmware to 1.2.2
Build and release firmware / build-and-release (push) Successful in 1m51s
Read battery once, after the picture is pushed, instead of at boot.

tfaour d324bc4a57 Read battery once, after the picture is pushed, not at boot
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 40s
battery_read_percent() was called once at the very start of boot, before
WiFi even connects, and that value was reused both for the manage-menu
overlay and the server report. Taken right after a reset (e.g. the OTA
reboot that immediately precedes it), the rail may still be settling --
plausible source of noisy jumps in reported battery level.

Now there's a single read, in frame_client_run() right before
report_battery(), after the photo (and manage overlay, if shown) is
already on the panel -- the fetch/display work already done this cycle
is the settle time, no delay to guess. The manage overlay no longer
needs an early local reading at all: it shows the server's last-known
value instead, added to the /frame/photo-info response it already
fetches.
