Jacob Dahl 773967b547 docs(arkv6s): add flight controller documentation (#27383)
* docs(arkv6s): add flight controller documentation

Signed-off-by: Jacob Dahl <dahl.jakejacob@gmail.com>

* docs(arkv6s): add product photo and note single-IMU variant

Drop in docs/assets/flight_controller/arkv6s/ark_v6s_front.jpg
so the page renders the board photo it already references, and
align the intro with the upstream description by spelling out
that the V6S is the single-IMU variant of the V6X.

* docs(arkv6s): add bootloader UART note, fix arkv6x RAM typo

Add the bootloader serial port note (TELEM1-only in bootloader mode)
to the ARKV6S docs, matching the ARKV6X docs. Also fix the ARKV6X
MCU spec listing "1MB Flash" instead of "1MB RAM".

Pixhawk Autopilot Bus & Carriers

The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) Standard provides a standard interface design that allows any compliant Pixhawk flight controller to be used "plug-and-play" with any compliant base board.

This modularity makes it easier to integrate flight controllers into different system-on-module designs. For example, the PAB means that you can use the same flight controller hardware on a more compact board with fewer outputs, or on a board that integrates with a companion computer, and so on.

The following carriers and flight controllers are PAB-compliant, and can therefore be used interchangeably.

::: info The "Mechanical Design" section of the standard provides specific recommendations for mechanical compatibility between vendors. The flight controllers and baseports listed here are expected to be compliant with all recommendations. :::
