GIFT EVERYONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD WANT WITH LORA

[AarC10]

Description

Note: #347 should be looked at first and merged. This PR branches off that one
Setting merge to #347 now so the diff doesn't look as bad :)

Re-introduces handling for commanding GPIOs and reconstructing UDP packets from LoRa payloads. But, more importantly... WE CAN SCHEDULE HOW OFTEN TELEMETRY IS DOWNLINKED AND REMOTELY CHANGE LORA FREQUENCIES!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Type of change

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested commanding GPIOs and changing frequencies (changing frequencies will get more refinement soon™️, but a good proof-of-concept has been laid out now). Receiver mod can now forward downlinked telem over Ethernet again too.

Checklist:

• New functionality is documented in the necessary spots (i.e new functions documented in the header)
• Unit tests cover any new functionality or edge cases that the PR was meant to resolve (if applicable)
• The CI checks are passing
• I reviewed my own code in the GitHub diff and am sure that each change is intentional
• I feel comfortable about this code flying in a rocket

Pull request overview

This PR re-introduces GPIO commanding and UDP packet reconstruction from LoRa payloads, and adds two major new features: the ability to schedule telemetry downlinks and remotely change LoRa frequencies. The implementation refactors the LoRa communication architecture to use a router/handler pattern for better modularity.

Key Changes:

• Implemented remote LoRa frequency changing with ACK-based confirmation
• Added telemetry downlink scheduling system based on configurable timers
• Refactored LoRa communication to use link/router/handler architecture for better separation of concerns

• The Startup function is empty but still declared as an override. If there's no startup logic needed, this function can be removed entirely since the base class likely provides a default implementation or makes it optional.

void CLoraTenant::Startup() {

There is a typo in the comment. "hashamp" should be "hashmap".

Suggested change

	// Build the hashamp here for passing into downlink scheduler tenant
	// Build the hashmap here for passing into downlink scheduler tenant

If the downlink queue is full and clearing fails or if Send fails after clearing, the function returns false but logs with LOG_WRN_ONCE. Using LOG_WRN_ONCE means subsequent failures won't be logged, which could hide recurring issues. Consider using regular LOG_WRN or implementing a counter to track how often this occurs.

I think i agree with this. this should just be log_wrn since if im sitting there working i will want to know every time the queue is full

not for this PR but i think heartbeats might be wise. if the ground station screws up or we are unable to transmit from the ground, its a lot easier to throw together a receiver on a tdeck or something and make sure backplane is still alive and able to launch vs. having to hand write the requests for telem and manually decoding the packets in the heat of the moment
