feat(sos): messages stop at an answer, the advert beacon goes on to the end; settings changed while it runs count at once
- A zero-hop advert with each send and every Repeat gap (5 min with Repeat off) until the SOS is ended, after an ACK too; a plain one without a position. - The GPS stays on for the whole SOS. - Receiving: a fresh advert carrying a position moves that sender's SOS entry (by key for a DM's, by "SOS name" for a channel's). - The next send, beep and advert are timed from the last one with the settings as they are now: a shorter gap applies at once, Repeat back on resumes the messages. - L1 Tools > SOS rows in the L2's order: start, who and what, while it runs.
