Fix Read Tag diagnostic failing on NTAG tags

The read_tag.py diagnostic script had stale PN5180 NTAG methods: TX CRC
  was off (should be on), no Crypto1 clear, no IDLE→TRANSCEIVE state
  reset. Multi-batch reads failed because the PN5180 enters an
  unrecoverable state after an NTAG READ — requires a full GPIO hardware
  reset between 4-page batches. Also rejected SAK 0x04 as unsupported.
  Synced write methods with daemon.
