feat(repeater): default network profile, band-matched to companion freq

Browse Source 
Enabling the repeater now defaults to a dedicated radio profile rather
than relaying on the companion's current frequency: same-network
repeating isn't the MeshCore community norm. The default profile is
seeded with a frequency in the same legal band as the companion's own
network (433/868/915 MHz, via defaultRepeaterFreqForBand()) rather than
a flat firmware constant, so it can't land outside what's allowed for
the operator's region.

Also fixes a gap where a true first boot (no prefs file yet) never hit
the DataStore.cpp migration fallback and stayed on repeater_use_profile=0.

## Repeater
Turns the companion into a packet **repeater** while it keeps working as a normal companion — no separate firmware. By default it relays on its **current** frequency, or you can give it a dedicated radio profile to switch to while relaying (see **Network** below). Loop-detection and an advert flood-depth cap are always applied. This screen keeps the toggle, the network/profile, and its flood-filter options together; live forwarding stats are on **Tools › Diagnostics**.
Turns the companion into a packet **repeater** while it keeps working as a normal companion — no separate firmware. By default, enabling it switches the radio to a dedicated repeater profile rather than relaying on whatever network you're chatting on (see **Network** below) — that matches the MeshCore community norm of repeaters sitting on a standard channel, not a private one. Loop-detection and an advert flood-depth cap are always applied. This screen keeps the toggle, the network/profile, and its flood-filter options together; live forwarding stats are on **Tools › Diagnostics**.
Navigate with **UP/DOWN**; change a value with **LEFT/RIGHT** (or **Enter** for toggles). **Cancel/Back** saves and returns to Tools.
| Setting | Options | Notes |
| -------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Repeater | ON / OFF | Master switch. The options below appear only while it is ON. |
| Network | Current / Custom | **Current**: relay on the companion's own frequency (default). **Custom**: enabling the repeater switches the radio to a dedicated profile (below) and disabling restores the companion's settings — so you can drop onto a separate repeater network and come back. Switching to Custom seeds the profile from your current settings. |
| Network | Current / Custom | **Custom** _(default)_: enabling the repeater switches the radio to a dedicated profile (below) and disabling restores the companion's settings — so you can drop onto a separate repeater network and come back. A never-configured device seeds Custom with a frequency in the same band as your own network (433/868/915 MHz region), not a flat one-size-fits-all default — so it can't land outside what's legal for your region. Switching to Custom afterwards (if it was OFF and unconfigured) seeds it from your current settings instead. **Current**: relay on the companion's own frequency — opt-in; not the community norm. |
| Rpt preset | named presets | _(Custom only)_ **Enter** picks a community/saved preset for the repeater profile. |
| Rpt freq | chip range | _(Custom only)_ **Enter** opens the digit-by-digit editor (chip-validated bounds). |
| Rpt SF / BW / CR | 5–12 / 7.8–500 kHz / 5–8 | _(Custom only)_ **LEFT/RIGHT** to adjust the profile's spreading factor, bandwidth, coding rate. |
