feat(compass): replace dial with a horizontal heading tape

Browse Source 
The shrunken ring left only a few-pixel needle in the OLED's short vertical
space. Switch to a linear heading tape: a fixed travel-direction pointer at
centre over a scrolling N..E..S..W scale (30° ticks, N/E/S/W labelled),
with the large degrees+cardinal readout below. The tape is purely linear
(no trig) and uses the available width, so it stays readable on the small
panel. Update the Compass docs to match.

## Compass
A heads-up GPS compass. The L1 has no magnetometer, so the heading is the **course over ground** — derived from how your GPS position moves over the last few seconds. The direction you are travelling is the fixed index at the **top** of the ring, and the compass card (the North needle plus the N/E/S/W letters) rotates underneath it as you turn. A large numeric readout below shows your course in degrees and cardinal (e.g. `145° SE`).
A heads-up GPS compass. The L1 has no magnetometer, so the heading is the **course over ground** — derived from how your GPS position moves over the last few seconds. The display is a horizontal **heading tape**: a fixed travel-direction pointer sits at the centre and the N..E..S..W scale scrolls underneath it as you turn, so whatever is under the pointer is your current course. A large numeric readout below shows that course in degrees and cardinal (e.g. `145° SE`).
Because the heading comes from movement, it only updates while you are actually moving: standing still shows *move to set heading* (and navigation's **Hdg** line reads `--`). Gross GPS jumps are rejected so a single bad fix can't swing the needle. The heading source runs whenever there's a GPS fix — recording a trail is **not** required.
