What changes

The seed drill page drew only the sections the program had asked for since the module started (secTop), and never fewer than 16. A module that had not heard AgOpenWeb yet, or had just restarted, showed 16 sections instead of the drill's 19; the 19 appeared only once AgOpenWeb opened section 19. The simulator showed the same with "tractor network not set".

Seeder_ESP32 0.2.5: a new setting on the Settings tab, Sections on the seed drill (0-64; 0 = as many as the program asks for, the old behaviour). With it at 19:

• the Sowing tab shows the 19 sections from the start, even with the program silent;
• a relay that would follow a section past the 19th does nothing, so the relay card reads "24 relays, 19 of them sections" (it said 24 of them);
• the setting is kept in flash (secs), sent in /api/settings and /api/status, saved by /api/relays together with Relay 1 follows section.

Simulator: the pretend module has the setting at 19; the smoke test checks the value on the Settings tab, relay 20 idle, and the 19 sections with the cable never plugged in (seeder/?wifi=ap). READMEs: changelog rows and a setup step.

Before (cable never plugged in)	After
16 sections	19 sections, "0 of 19 open"

How to test

1. Simulator (published from main after the merge): open seeder/?wifi=ap. The Sowing tab shows 19 sections, none open. On the Settings tab the new field reads 19; set it to 0 and save (password agopengps): the Sowing tab goes back to 16.
2. On the Relay24_ESP32: install 0.2.5, open the page, Settings tab, Sections on the seed drill = 19, Save. Power the module off and on with AgOpenWeb closed: the Sowing tab shows 19 sections. With AgOpenWeb running, relays 1-19 click as before and relays 20-24 stay off.

Checks

• Seeder_ESP32 compiled here with arduino-cli, esp32 core 3.3.12, for both boards (BOARD_RELAY24 85 %, BOARD_KC868_A32 87 % of flash), no warnings. Not run on a board.
• build.py + smoke-test.js: "Simulator pages OK". check_changelog.py and check_shared_blocks.py pass.
