Add ReportEngine: automated reporting and alerting for repeater nodes (Push Telemetry)

This PR adds a script/rule engine (ReportEngine.cpp / ReportEngine.h) to repeater firmware, enabling nodes to automatically send messages to a channel based on sensor readings or a fixed schedule — without any user interaction.

Supported triggers

• Battery voltage threshold (bat<, bat>)
• Temperature threshold (temp<, temp>)
• Noise floor threshold (noise>, noise<)
• Periodic reporting (report:bat, report:temp, report:noise)

Features

• Optional time-of-day firing (at:HH:MM, UTC)
• Hash channel and private channel support
• Optional region scope (@scope:name)
• Rules persist across reboots via SPIFFS/LittleFS
• Deferred SPIFFS save to avoid blocking CLI on nRF52
• Remote CLI support with paged compact list output (160-byte limit)
• Local CLI (USB) supports full list output
• Minimum 30-minute interval enforced to protect duty cycle

Rules are configured entirely via CLI — no recompilation needed. For full command reference see REPORT.md.

Hi @gjelsoe
This is a great initiative for less baby sitting repeaters.
It can be used for MeshCore sensors too.

I have a few comments.

1. If we name it ReportEngine, then the "script rule" should be named as "report rule"? Should it be "Alert Engine" as in the MeshCore sensor, it uses "alert".
2. Is CommonCLI missing? We need to set the parameters into file.
3. I also don't find the code to send alert. I guess it is not in yet.

Have fun.
Thanks a lot.

Was written for repeater not sensor firmware.

• Is CommonCLI missing? We need to set the parameters into file.

Commands are handled by scriptHandleCommand in ReportEngine.cpp

• I also don't find the code to send alert. I guess it is not in yet.

There isn't any alert.
