feat(#304): FEM LNA connector state + gated Radio Settings toggle

Completes the client half against the firmware as-built (#298):

- Device-info offset 83 carries the FEM LNA state on v16+, appended
  unconditionally (reads 0 on non-capable boards). parseFemLnaState is
  length-guarded and returns null pre-v16. Byte presence signals firmware
  version, not capability — the cap BIT gates the UI.
- 0xC3 reply handler adopts the reported value verbatim: firmware returns
  post-apply hardware state, not an echo, so a refused write surfaces as
  truth rather than a lie.
- setFemLna / requestFemLnaState no-op unless the capability bit is set,
  so a non-capable radio never sees 0xC3 traffic.
- Radio Settings toggle rendered only when the bit is set, driven by
  connector state via ListenableBuilder rather than local optimistic
  state, so it always shows what the radio reports.
- errCodeUnsupportedCmd documented: a mis-gated request draws [0x01][0x01],
  not [0x01][0x06]. Neither is 0xC3-prefixed, so no new error path.

Gating is on the bit alone, never model or version: firmware derives it
from a runtime FEM probe, so two Heltec V4s can legitimately disagree and
rak3401 reports false by design (its SKY66122 gates LNA and PA together).

13 tests. Not hardware-validated — firmware 0xC3 is still on a branch.
