Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): correct BOM sensor counts and locations

The STM32 peripheral list in the README disagreed with the production
BOM (4_7_Production Files/Gerber_Main_Board/RADAR_Main_Board_BOM_csv)
and with the firmware (9_1_Microcontroller/.../main.cpp). Corrections
based on origin/main commit 754d919:

- ADS7830 Idq ADCs: placed on the Main Board (U88 @ 0x48, U89 @ 0x4A),
  not on the Power Amplifier Boards. Added the INA241A3 (x50) and 5 mOhm
  shunt detail that completes the current-sense chain.
- DAC5578 Vg DACs: placed on the Main Board (U7 @ 0x48, U69 @ 0x49),
  not on the Power Amplifier Boards. Noted closed-loop Idq calibration
  at boot (main.cpp powerUpSequence).
- Temperature sensors: 1x ADS7830 (U10) with 8 single-ended channels
  reading 8 thermistors -- not 8 separate ADS7830 chips. Cooling is a
  single GPIO (EN_DIS_COOLING), bang-bang, not PWM.
- GPS: reflect the UM982 driver merged in #79 and its role in
  per-detection position tagging beyond map centering.

Counts now match the 3x ADS7830 / 2x DAC5578 / 16x INA241A3 population
in the production BOM.
