feat: replace advert scan with active node discovery in NearbyScreen

NearbyScreen now sends CTL_TYPE_NODE_DISCOVER_REQ (same protocol as the
companion app) instead of a plain self-advert. Nearby repeaters, sensors
and room servers respond with their pub_key and type. Known contacts get
their lastmod refreshed; unknown nodes appear as temporary entries (e.g.
"Repeater") in the list until their advert is received.
