Framework for upcoming variant-specific PRs that add LED feedback during boot. The hook gives users visual cues that the device is busy and
shouldn't be interacted with until startup completes.
BLE takes priority when connected; USB is always ready as fallback.
Both state machines run continuously — no BLE disconnect on USB connect.

Loading... screen was always shown at full brightness because prefs
are not yet loaded at that point. Apply setBrightness() in the first
common code path after the_mesh.begin() loads prefs, so at least the
tail of the loading screen and the entire splash screen respect the
saved brightness level.

Watchdog: nRF52840 hardware WDT with 30s timeout, runs during sleep.
Resets device if main loop stalls for >30s. Pets in every loop()
iteration so normal operation never triggers it.
QuickMsgScreen: new UI screen accessible from home screen pages.
Two-phase UI: contact picker (shows all contacts with hop count),
then predefined message picker (location, I'm OK, need help, on my
way, ETA 10min, ETA 30min). Location message uses live GPS fix if
available. Sends via the_mesh.sendMessage() and shows sent/error alert.

Save last known unix timestamp to /rtc_save on shutdown and restore it
on startup, so the clock shows correct time immediately after restart
without waiting for GPS fix.

- CPU sleep: board.sleep(0) in main loop puts NRF52 into WFE/sd_app_evt_wait
between iterations; wakes on any interrupt (radio, BLE, timer). Largest
power saving of the three changes.
- VBAT_ENABLE gating: voltage divider now powered only during ADC read
(HIGH for 10ms, then LOW). Previously stayed HIGH continuously.
Fixed in both variant.cpp (init) and WioTrackerL1Board::getBattMilliVolts().
- LED off with display: PIN_LED is cleared when auto-off triggers and
restored (handed back to userLedHandler) when display wakes. Avoids
idle LED current draw during screen-off periods.

The companion_radio example was not restoring the GPS enabled/disabled
preference from flash after reboot. The preference was being saved
correctly when toggled via the mobile app, but on boot,
sensors.begin() -> initBasicGPS() unconditionally sets gps_active=false
and nothing subsequently restored the persisted state.
Added applyGpsPrefs() (matching the pattern in simple_repeater,
simple_sensor, and simple_room_server) and call it from main.cpp
after sensors.begin() to ensure the GPS hardware is initialized
before the saved preference is applied.
Pulled the class out of main.cpp, made a header to go along with it, externed globals in headers to make them accessible to button code. Added button code to send an advert on double press. Refactored ini files to prevent linker errors.
