feat(keyboard): selectable main/additional script for the on-screen keyboard

Browse Source 
Page 0 was hardcoded to Latin -- Cyrillic/Greek could only ever be the
second, cycled-to page. Settings > Keyboard's Alphabet row splits into
Main (which script the keyboard opens on by default) and Additional
(the second one reached via #@/abc), so a Cyrillic/Greek typist can make
their own script the default instead of always landing on Latin first.
Setting Additional equal to Main collapses back to a 2-page cycle (that
script + Symbols), same rule the old Latin-hardcoded design already used
implicitly.

KeyboardWidget.h: cellStr()/t9GroupStr() now dispatch through
scriptCellStr()/scriptT9GroupStr(), treating Latin as an ordinary peer of
Cyrillic/Greek instead of a special case; scriptHint() replaces
altAlphabetHint() so the #@/abc key's "next page" hint is correct
regardless of which script that lands on; the accent popup's gating
checks the current page's actual script instead of assuming page 0 is
always Latin. Removed the now-dead pageIsAltAlphabet().

NodePrefs gains keyboard_main_alphabet (schema sentinel 0xC0DE001F ->
0xC0DE0020, same append-at-tail/clamp-on-load pattern as every prior
schema growth this file uses). Verified via a real build that the new
field lands in existing tail padding -- sizeof(NodePrefs) is unchanged
at 2712.

| Setting | Options | Notes |
| -------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Layout | ABC / T9 | On-screen keyboard style. **ABC**: an a-b-c…z grid, one key per letter (the original layout). **T9**: phone-keypad multi-tap — each key is labelled with its **digit** and a letter group (e.g. `2abc`); repeated **Enter** presses cycle through the letters and then the digit itself. Applies to whichever alphabet page is active (see Alphabet below), not just Latin. |
| Alphabet | Latin / Cyrillic / Greek | Which extra (non-Latin) script, if any, joins the keyboard's page cycle. **Latin** (default): only the Latin letters and Symbols pages, as before. **Cyrillic**/**Greek** add that script's own page to the same **#@/abc** key's cycle (Latin → alphabet → Symbols → Latin) — no separate key to switch scripts. **Greek** covers the 24-letter alphabet plus final sigma (`ς`) but not the tonos stress accents used in proper Modern Greek spelling. Every alphabet's letters render natively — the display font (a single unified Unicode font used everywhere on-screen) covers all of them, no separate toggle needed. |

| Main | Latin / Cyrillic / Greek | Which script the keyboard **opens on by default**. **Latin** (default) matches earlier releases; pick **Cyrillic** or **Greek** here instead to make that script the one you land on every time, with Latin becoming the one reached via cycling (see Additional below) instead of the other way round. |
| Additional | Latin / Cyrillic / Greek | The second script added to the same **#@/abc** key's cycle (Main → Additional → Symbols → Main) — no separate key to switch scripts. Setting Additional to the **same** script as Main drops the cycle back to just that script plus Symbols (no second script page at all). **Greek** covers the 24-letter alphabet plus final sigma (`ς`) but not the tonos stress accents used in proper Modern Greek spelling.

Applies to every on-screen text field (messages, waypoint labels, room passwords, preset names). Earlier releases labelled the grid *QWERTY*; the layout has always been alphabetical, so it is now named **ABC**.
European Latin-diacritic letters (Polish, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Nordic, etc.) aren't separate alphabet pages — instead, **Hold Enter** on a plain Latin letter that has accented variants (`a c d e i l n o r s t u y z`) opens a one-row popup of its accents (e.g. holding `a` offers `á à â ã ä å ą`); **LEFT/RIGHT** picks, **Enter** inserts it, **Cancel** dismisses with no change. Holding a letter with no accented variants (e.g. `b`) does nothing.
