Fix AK09918 init: correct WIA2 expected value and broken retry loop

AK09918 WIA2 device ID is 0x0C (not 0x09 which belongs to AK09916).
Previous check falsely reported init failure for a working sensor.

The retry loop was resetting the sensor on every attempt, which clears
CNTL2 back to power-down before the sensor can produce a measurement.
At 100 Hz the first sample takes ~10 ms; checking isDataReady immediately
after switchMode always returned NOT_RDY, triggering another reset.

New approach: switch to continuous mode once, then poll with 15 ms
delay (one sample period + margin) up to 20 times without resetting.
Only re-apply the mode if an actual I2C read failure occurs.
