This commit addresses my concerns written in comments of that PR: https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Tracker-ESP/pull/266

Change adds the ability to set which sensor is mandatory and which not. By default main IMU is set to mandatory while aux is optional.

I think correctly reporting missing sensor is important, because badly soldered DIY sensors and even official sensors with broken IMU are fairly common. When uses sees their tracker not displayed at all, they can suspect network configuration issues. After seeing tracker displayed, but with error, user can at least rule out network issues and have some sort of initial feedback from the server ("sorry, but your tracker is not working correctly").

Also adjusted C3 i2c workaround to support BNO on some cases. Hope to have better solution soon.
