Subject: [PATCH 1/2] refactor: optimize USB polling rate and fix report race
 condition

- Increased HID polling rate from 250Hz (4ms) to 1000Hz (1ms) in
  the configuration descriptor to match wired DualSense performance.
- Fixed a potential race condition between Bluetooth data callbacks
  and the USB task using pico/critical_section.
- Implemented a 'dirty flag' mechanism to prevent sending redundant
  duplicate reports, ensuring the dongle only transmits to the host
  when fresh Bluetooth data is received.
- Added a fallback retry logic in interrupt_loop to ensure data
  integrity if a USB report fails to queue.
