Subject: [PATCH] fix: add Technically Unsupported section to SCOPE.md (#1295)

## Summary

**Goal of this PR**
Add an **"In-scope — technically not supported"** section to `SCOPE.md`.

This clarifies hardware/UX limitations (e.g., clock support) and is
intended to reduce recurring feature requests on topics already
discussed.

Based on discussions in #287 and #626.

+*These features align with CrossPoint's goals but are impractical on the current hardware or produce poor UX.*

+* **Clock Display:** The ESP32-C3's RTC drifts significantly during deep sleep; making the clock untrustworthy after any sleep cycle. NTP sync could help, but CrossPoint doesn't connect to the internet on every boot.

+* **PDF Rendering:** PDFs are fixed-layout documents, so rendering them requires displaying pages as images rather than reflowable text — resulting in constant panning and zooming that makes for a poor reading experience on e-ink.
