Fix PCIe Gen 3: move dtparam into [pi5] section of config.txt
All checks were successful
Build Talos CM5 Image / build (push) Successful in 2m53s

The dtparam=pciex1_gen=3 was being appended after the [all] section,
but RPi firmware requires PCIe dtparams in the [pi5] section.
Switch from configTxtAppend to full configTxt replacement to control
section ordering. Also add dtparam=pciex1 to explicitly enable the
external PCIe link.
