feat(power): battery saving — hardware duty-cycle RX + adaptive TX power

Browse Source 
Two independent, default-off toggles under Settings › Radio.

Pwr save: hardware RX duty-cycle (SX126x SetRxDutyCycle via
startReceiveDutyCycleAuto). The chip cycles RX↔sleep and wakes on a preamble —
no MCU state machine; recvRaw reads the packet exactly as in continuous RX.
Falls back to continuous RX on non-SX126x. (Replaces an earlier software-CAD
state machine that fought the hardware: polling a warm-sleeping chip gave a
phantom-busy channel that stalled TX ~4 s and dropped ACKs in the scan gaps.)

Auto pwr: Adaptive Power Control. tx_power_dbm becomes a ceiling; actual TX
power tracks the reverse-link SNR margin (measured above the per-SF demod floor,
EWMA-smoothed, proportional step with a deadband). Feedback comes from direct /
room-server ACKs and, for channels (no ACK), from hearing a repeater rebroadcast
our own flood; a lost confirmation ramps power back up so channel sends can't get
stranded below what the repeaters can hear.

Prefs schema 0xC0DE0009 (rx_powersave, tx_apc). Radio page / name bar show the
live TX power; noise floor reads n/a while duty-cycling.
