Suggested PR Title

Increase connection slots to 4 for ethernet proxies

Description

Recent versions of ESPHome have significant memory savings and low-latency BLE event processing. This unlocks the ability to have 4 connection slots on ethernet proxies (WiFi proxies share airtime with BLE so they cannot support this increase).

This has been tested in production for almost three months with the olimex boards.

Changes:

  • Add esp32_ble.max_connections: 4 to all ethernet proxy configs
  • Add bluetooth_proxy.connection_slots: 4 to all ethernet proxy configs
  • Bump min_version to 2025.11.0 (required for these features)

Affected devices:

  • olimex-esp32-poe-iso
  • lilygo-t-eth-poe
  • wt32-eth01
  • gl-s10
  • seeed-esp32-poe
