AltOS Firmware Changes

Add TeleMini v1.0 support. Firmware images for TeleMini are
included in AltOS releases.

Change telemetry to be encoded in multiple 32-byte packets. This
enables support for TeleMini and other devices without requiring
further updates to the TeleDongle firmware.

Support operation of TeleMetrum with the antenna pointing
aft. Previous firmware versions required the antenna to be
pointing upwards, now there is a configuration option allowing
the antenna to point aft, to aid installation in some airframes.

Ability to disable telemetry. For airframes where an antenna
just isn't possible, or where radio transmissions might cause
trouble with other electronics, there's a configuration option
to disable all telemetry. Note that the board will still
enable the radio link in idle mode.

AltosUI Changes
+
Wait for altimeter when using packet mode. Instead of quicly
timing out when trying to initialize a packet mode
configuration connection, AltosUI now waits indefinitely for
the remote device to appear, providing a cancel button should
the user get bored. This is necessary as the TeleMini can only
be placed in "Idle" mode if AltosUI is polling it.

Add main/apogee voltage graphs to the data plot. This provides
a visual indication if the igniters fail before being fired.

Scan for altimeter devices by watching the defined telemetry
frequencies. This avoids the problem of remembering what
frequency a device was configured to use, which is especially
important with TeleMini which does not include a USB connection.
