Fix the RF launch: relieve the planes under J2 and put the ESD on the line

The 0.164/0.200 CPWG geometry was fine; the calculation just stopped at the
trace and never covered the connector launch, which is where the real
discontinuity was.

J2's centre land is 1.5 mm wide because that is what the connector's centre pin
needs mechanically. Sitting on solid L2_GND only 0.0994 mm below, that land is
a 10.7 ohm transmission line, not a 50 ohm one. The 1.84 mm of it over the
plane is 6.7 degrees at L1 and reflects 12 dB (VSWR 1.67) - by far the worst
discontinuity in the chain, and worse than everything the carefully built
0.164 mm line downstream avoids.

RF_LAUNCH_RELIEF voids L2_GND and L3_SIG under the land, (172.35, 40.95) to
(175.10, 43.05). The reference drops to L4_PWR - VCC3V0_RF, an AC ground -
0.587 mm below, which raises the launch to 37 ohm and 30 dB. L3 carried no
pour and no copper there, so only L2 actually had to go; the area covers L3 as
well so a later edit cannot fill the gap back in. It stops where the land ends
and the 0.164 mm line begins, verified: L2 GND is absent across the whole land
and present again at x = 172.0 and inboard.

D1's ESD clamp sat at the end of a 1.34 mm spur, where its 0.3 pF presented
-j228 ohm and cost 3.4 dB for nothing. D1 is rotated onto the run at
(171.30, 42.416) so pad 1 overlaps the line directly and pad 2 lands in the
RF ground pour; the spur is deleted.

Return loss, worst term first:
  SMA launch land      12.0 -> 30.0 dB   (10.7 -> 37.0 ohm)
  D1 ESD clamp         19.2 -> 22.6 dB   (now just the part's own 0.3 pF)
  C85 DNP tuning stub  25.5 dB unchanged, intentional provision
  C84 DNP land in line 30.1 dB unchanged, negligible
  worst-case coherent   7.0 -> 14.4 dB
The dominant term is now a component choice rather than a layout defect.

Verified: ERC 0/0, DRC 0 violations, 0 unconnected, every net one copper group,
parity unchanged at the 402 pre-existing warnings, RF still 10 segments all on
F.Cu at exactly 0.164 mm.

## RF ve yüksek hızlı routing kuralları
- RF katı üst katmanda, JLC08161H-3313 stackup için 0.164 mm genişlik ve
0.200 mm coplanar GND aralığıyla 50 ohm CPWG olarak tasarlanır.
0.200 mm coplanar GND aralığıyla 50 ohm CPWG olarak tasarlanır. Kontrollü
empedans siparişinde bu geometri üreticinin kendi hesabıyla doğrulanmalıdır.
- J2 edge-launch pad'inin altında `RF_LAUNCH_RELIEF` ile L2/L3 boşaltılır.
Konnektörün 1.5 mm genişliğindeki merkez pad'i, 0.0994 mm altındaki dolu
L2_GND üzerinde 50 ohm değil **10.7 ohm**'luk bir hat parçasıdır; plane
boşaltılmadan bu launch tek başına 12 dB return loss ile bütün RF yolunun en
kötü süreksizliğidir. Referans L4_PWR'a (VCC3V0_RF, AC ground) inince launch
~37 ohm ve ~30 dB olur. Boşaltma x=172.35'te, pad bitip 0.164 mm hat
başladığı yerde durur; hat kendi L2 referansını korur.
- D1 ESD klemp doğrudan hattın üzerindedir. 1.34 mm'lik bir stub ucunda
0.3 pF, L1'de -j228 ohm görünüp 3.4 dB return loss'a mal oluyordu.
- SMA, ESD, bias-tee, SAW ve MAX2771 MIXIN_HI arasındaki RF güzergâhında dijital
route veya via kullanılmaz.
- USB2 diferansiyel çift 0.135 mm hat ve 0.150 mm coupled gap kuralındadır.
