Add documentation entry about compiler warnings (#8492)

per #8421 and #8475
after checking HW, suggest to check SW as well by at least by enabling some or all compiler warnings
(and also note of the IDE weirdest defaults causing issues we expected to stay solved)

+Enable compilation warnings
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Most common issues may be resolved by enabling compilation warnings and fixing them.
+
+For Arduino IDE, select ``File -> Preferences``:
+
+- Make sure ``Show verbose output during: compilation`` is enabled
+- Set ``Compiler warnings`` to ``More`` or ``All``
+
+For PlatformIO, all warnings should already be enabled by default.
+
+Notice that the default configuration of Arduino IDE inhibits **all** compilation warnings.
+For the ESP8266 platform, some warnings should be treated as errors, otherwise it may cause unexpected issues at runtime:
+
+.. code:: cpp
+
+    int func() {
+    }
+
+    int other() {
+      return func();
+    }
+
+Should fail to build with the following message:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+    return-value.cpp: In function ‘int func()’:
+    return-value.cpp:2:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]
+        2 | }
+          | ^
+    compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
+    cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors
+
+Notice that ``-Werror=return-type`` is the default starting with Core 3.0.2 w/ GCC 10.3
