fix: CG-19 add automatic retry logic for code-based pairing

Implements automatic retry mechanism when probe pairing times out:

- Add CONFIG_CODE_PAIRING_MAX_RETRIES (default: 2) to Kconfig
- Add retry_count, max_retries, skip_retry fields to pairing_state_t
- Modify code_pairing_handle_timeout() to retry before failing
- Preserve PSKd across retries via NVS persistence
- Add CLEARGROW_EVENT_PAIRING_RETRY event for UI notifications
- Add code_pairing_skip_retry() and code_pairing_get_retry_info() APIs
- Update scr_pairing_progress.c with retry status display
- Add Skip Retry button for users to abort retries early
- Add comprehensive unit tests for retry logic

User experience improvements:
- Pairing now automatically retries up to 2 times (3 total attempts)
- Progress screen shows "Attempt X of Y" during retries
- Skip Retry button allows early abort of remaining retries
- PSKd preserved - no need to re-enter code on retry
