feat(mesh): Meshtastic region + shared-channel auto-provisioning (MeshCore parity)

Fresh Meshtastic radios ship region-UNSET (RF-silent) and on mismatched
channels, so nodes only ever saw themselves. Bring them to MeshCore parity
using the official Meshtastic admin API:

- Auto-provision LoRa region (set_config, AdminMessage field 34) from a new
  mesh-config `lora_region` (e.g. EU_868) when the radio's region differs.
- Auto-provision a shared primary channel (set_channel, field 33) with a
  PSK derived deterministically from channel_name, so every node converges on
  one mesh — the parity equivalent of MeshCore's named "archipelago" channel.
- Read current region/channel from want_config; only write when different
  (no reboot loop); cap attempts so a radio that won't persist can't loop.
- Active NodeInfo advert scaffolding + aggressive serial drain.

Verified on .116+.228: region+channel persist, discovery works (both see each
other as named reachable contacts), bidirectional RF + sending confirmed.
Receiving in the running driver is still under diagnosis (instrumentation added).

Also removes the unwanted `meshtastic` daemon app from the registry (it was
never meant to be a container — native driver provides system-level support):
deletes apps/meshtastic + catalog entries (app-catalog, neode-ui, releases) +
test refs. Meshtastic stays native, like MeshCore.
