Platformio failed to build esp32 FW after following installation instructions in README.md

[PaulBouchier]

This failure happened while following the instructions to install linorobot2_hardware on a new VM with a fresh install of ros-jazzy.

The install seemed to finish without error, but pio run -e esp32 failed with error:

Configuring nodemcu-32s with transport serial
Downloading micro-ROS dev dependencies
