feat: reference sketch.yaml platforms for "upload", "board list", etc.

[egnor]

Describe the request

The sketch project file sketch.yaml is wonderful for making more self contained projects that don't include the dreaded "okay now here follow these 20 steps to Set Up Your Machine, by the way they're out of date" disease. (Version managers like asdf or mise are another part of the solution.)

BUT it only really has much effect for arduino-cli compile. When for example doing arduino-cli upload, if the core in question hasn't been installed with arduino-cli core install, the upload will often fail. Similarly, arduino-cli board list won't detect boards unless the core has been installed.

The upload command does parse sketch.yaml to find attachment information, so, there's some precedent for looking for one...

Describe the current behavior

A core that is referenced in sketch.yaml but not globally installed on the system doesn't inform arduino-cli upload or arduino-cli board list commands.

@egnor Do you have an example that shows the problem? the upload command has a flag to specify the profile to use:

  -m, --profile string                Sketch profile to use

Similarly, arduino-cli board list won't detect boards unless the core has been installed.

Uhm, that's a bit convoluted use case, let's suppose that we already have a -m profile flag in board list command: what should be the expected result, for example, if we use a profile that uses the arduino:avr platform? board list -m profile_avr should detect only the boards listed in the AVR platform and display the others as unknown?

For upload, I think this actually got fixed at some point? I've been using the flag for a while now, and hadn't realized the bug hadn't been tagged. Maybe just as a part of some refactor?

Let's close this bug; the board list case is kind of its own complicated situation with other bugs talking about it.
