Add precondition comment to process_dump_config_()

Extract the dump_config block (version/chip info logging + per-component
dump_config iteration) into a separate noinline process_dump_config_()
method.

This code runs once at startup and once on API reconnect, but was
inlined into loop() which runs ~7000 times/minute. On ESP32 the
dump_config block compiled to ~140 bytes (38% of loop's 368 bytes),
including esp_chip_info(), integer division for revision formatting,
and multiple ESP_LOG calls. Extracting it frees ~2 icache lines for
the hot path.
