Release the waiting task on successful short reads. Arrr, ble_gattc_read() returns BLE_HS_EDONE without a later callback for short reads. When onReadCB returns 0 at src/NimBLERemoteValueAttribute.cpp:220-221, it skips taskRelease, so readValue can remain blocked. Release the task on this path, but keep deferred completion for chained long reads.

In `@src/NimBLERemoteValueAttribute.cpp` around lines 220 - 221, Update the
successful short-read path in onReadCB so it releases the waiting task before
returning when rc is 0, while preserving deferred completion and task retention
for chained long reads.
