✨🐛 HC32 - Add SERIAL_DMA, fix SDIO and MEATPACK (#26845)

* fix meatpack on hc32

* add support for SERIAL_DMA on HC32

* add additional checks in HC32 HAL

* migrate HC32 HAL to use app_config.h

* fix memory leak in HC32 sdio HAL
https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/pull/26845#issuecomment-1980218771

* hc32: fail if both EMERGENCY_PARSER and SERIAL_DMA are enabled

  * This feature is EXPERIMENTAL so use with caution and test thoroughly.
  * Enable this option to receive data on the serial ports via the onboard DMA
  * controller for more stable and reliable high-speed serial communication.
- * Only some STM32 MCUs are currently supported.
+ * Support is currently limited to some STM32 MCUs and all HC32 MCUs.
  * Note: This has no effect on emulated USB serial ports.
