Custom Channel Discovery

[rinchen]

We could extend the app to maintain a list of worldwide custom channels. This can be used by other Apps. In our App, maybe we can make a new tab for this. The idea is that the list would be stored in a GitHub repo, and when a user presses a download button, they fetch the latest list.

1. Utilize Finalize the JSON structure mesh-channels#1

2. The "Channel Discovery" Tab UI for Meshtastic mode. "Repeater Discovery" in Meshcore mode.

The Workflow:

"Refresh Directory" Button: The app performs a git pull (or simply a GET request to the raw GitHub URL) to grab the latest file list.

Tree-View Browser: Display the hierarchy (World -> USA -> State -> City).

Preview Pane: When a user clicks a channel, show the description and the modem_preset so they know if it’s a "long range" channel or a "fast chat" channel.

One-Click "Configure": A button that calls your existing Meshtastic API functions to inject that channel into their device’s channels list.

We would need to flag modem-preset when it's incompatible with the current device. Meaning, the device may be in Long_Fast but the preset is for Medium_Fast.

Also, if we have a configured channel, we should add it's PSK to the MQTT decode list
