Add _orange_pi_id() to H616 and H6 chip detection paths so that Orange Pi boards are detected via device-tree model strings on non-Armbian OS distributions (e.g. Debian). Expand _orange_pi_id() to handle Orange Pi Zero 2, Zero 3, Zero 2W (with space variant), and 3 LTS model strings from /proc/device-tree/model. Fixes adafruit#285

Summary
Fixes #285 — Orange Pi boards (Zero 2, Zero 3, 3 LTS) were not detected on Debian and other non-Armbian distributions because the detection path relied on
_armbian_id()which reads/etc/armbian-release(not present on Debian).Changes
1. Add
_orange_pi_id()to H616 and H6 chip detection pathsThe H618 path already included
_orange_pi_id()as a fallback, but H616 (used by Orange Pi Zero 2) and H6 (used by Orange Pi 3 LTS) did not. Now all three share the same fallback chain.2. Expand
_orange_pi_id()with additional model stringsAdded detection for device-tree model strings (
/proc/device-tree/model) used by non-Armbian OSes:OrangePi Zero2,Orange Pi Zero 2ORANGE_PI_ZERO_2OrangePi Zero3,Orange Pi Zero 3ORANGE_PI_ZERO_3Orange Pi Zero 2W(space variant)ORANGE_PI_ZERO_2WOrange Pi 3 LTS,OrangePi 3 LTSORANGE_PI_3_LTSThe ordering ensures the more specific
Zero 2Wmatch is checked before the broaderZero 2match.
