MeshMonitor v4.17.1-rc6

Summary

This RC fixes slow PostgreSQL and MySQL instances. Database Maintenance now shows and runs on every backend, not just SQLite. It now prunes audit_log (90 days by default), and a new migration adds a channel-list index and tunes Postgres autovacuum. MeshCore Companions on firmware 1.18.0 gain a real text CLI: the local console uses the radio's native CLI, the quick-action catalog grows, and you can run commands on a remote Companion and grant or revoke its remote-CLI permission. Channels now support AEAD (AES-CCM): the server decrypts them, and you can edit AEAD on device channels. Node Details shows a node's name history. Unified Messages remembers your last channel. MQTT forwarders now show their own uplinked packets, and push subscriptions renew correctly after rotation.

Thanks to @goodprogrammist for their first contribution (#5793)!

Upgrade Notes

• PostgreSQL/MySQL users: Database Maintenance is now visible on your backend but stays off until you enable it. Open Settings → Database Maintenance, turn it on, and click Run Maintenance Now. The first run may take a while on a large database.
• Large Postgres instances should also run the one-off REINDEX TABLE CONCURRENTLY / VACUUM (ANALYZE) steps and review the memory settings in docs/development/database.md.
• Migration 210 runs on startup: it adds an index on messages(sourceId, channel, timestamp) and, on Postgres, sets per-table autovacuum thresholds.
