Introduced consistent preferences for external LoRa FEM RX and TX gain settings in NodePrefs. Updated companion MyMesh to apply these settings during initialization and transmission. Added unit tests to verify the round-trip serialization of these new preferences.
With saved credentials present (seeded from the WIFI_SSID build flag on
first boot), the recovery AP came up in AP+STA mode while auto-reconnect
and the 10s manual retry kept the station scanning. STA scans drag the
shared radio across channels, so joining clients' WPA2 handshakes timed
out - reported by phones as a wrong password.
Disable auto-reconnect and pause the 10s retry loop while the recovery
AP is active; retry the configured network once a minute instead, so the
AP stays stable between attempts and the node still self-recovers (and
shuts the AP down) when its network returns.

Mirror the BLE pin rules on WiFi builds so the recovery AP always has a
knowable password: devices with a display get a random per-session pin
shown as Pin:NNNNNN on the home screen, headless devices default to
123456, and 'set pin' overrides both persistently. The AP password is
the active pin zero-padded to 8 digits (WPA2 minimum), so a fresh
device is never an open AP.

When a companion WiFi device has no WiFi credentials or can't connect for
60s, it broadcasts an 'EastMesh-WiFi' AP (WPA2 password = device pin
zero-padded to 8 digits; open if no pin set) with the rescue CLI on TCP
port 23, so wifi.ssid/pwd can be fixed without a serial cable.
- rescue CLI command handler now writes to any Stream (Serial or the TCP
rescue client)
- while the AP is up, STA keeps retrying; the AP shuts down automatically
once the configured network connects
- 'set wifi.ssid/pwd' keeps AP+STA mode during a rescue session so the
session isn't dropped mid-config
- guard ESP32-only SD/SPI code in ArchiveStorage so non-ESP32 builds of
the shared helpers get further

Integrates upstream v1.17.0. Key adaptations:
- companion + repeater NodePrefs moved to upstream's new ConfigSerializer
(prefs.json) format; EastMesh fields (companion wifi, repeater fan and
MQTT bridge peer) appended as serializer groups/keys
- legacy binary prefs loaders retain EastMesh tail fields, so existing
devices migrate their settings to the new format
- companion main.cpp adopts upstream InterfaceManager while keeping
runtime WiFi credentials from prefs
- kept EastMesh release-tag versioning in setup-build-environment action
