bootstrap.sh: limit Zephyr HALs by default

This reworks the current west.yml and bootstrap.sh so that only the HALs
used by the Arduino core are installed by default.  The list is directly
taken from boards.txt, where each board has a 'zephyr_hal' entry.

Since the HALs not named in the allowlist are discarded at Zephyr import
time, an explicit list makes it impossible to later install every HAL.
Instead, allow all HALs by path, then filter them by group using the
'manifest.project-filter' config that is automatically set by
bootstrap.sh. This allows to enable all HALs, if needed, by simply
removing the filter.

 ## 🚀 Adding a new target

 To add a new board that is already supported by mainline Zephyr with the target `$your_board`, follow these steps:
 
 * Get the variant name from your board by running `extra/get_variant_name.sh $your_board`.

 * Build the Loader: run `./extra/build.sh $your_board` (with any additional arguments as required) and start debugging the errors. :grin:
 * Update the `boards.txt`: add an entry for your board, manually filling the required fields.
 
-  In particular, set `build.zephyr_target` and `build.zephyr_args` to the arguments used in the `build.sh` call, and `build.variant` to the variant name identified above.

+   * `build.variant` to the variant name identified above.
 * Implement touch support: if your board supports the "1200bps touch" method, implement `_on_1200_bps` in a file located inside the variant folder of your board.
