fix(robots): retry SO follower/leader bus reads on transient Feetech errors (#4207)

* fix(robots): retry SO follower/leader bus reads on transient Feetech errors

SO-100/SO-101 teleoperation aborts when a sync_read of Present_Position
returns a corrupted status packet ("Incorrect status packet!"), which the
Feetech bus emits intermittently under load. The read path already supports
a num_retry argument but the SO follower and leader never used it, so a single
transient failure crashed the control loop.

Add a max_read_retry config option (default 3) to SOFollowerConfig and
SOLeaderConfig and forward it to every Present_Position sync_read. Retries are
immediate and only happen on failure, so the steady-state read cost is
unchanged; set max_read_retry=0 to restore the previous behavior.

Fixes #3131

* chore(robots): change defaults
