Document the ao-dumplog '--remote' flag for radio-link downloads
The --remote (or -R) flag uses TeleDongle to fetch data over the radio
command link from TeleMetrum. It's been there for a while, but the man
page failed to mention it.

Round radio calibration value instead of truncating
The radio calibration function in the bring-up code was truncating the
radio calibration value which caused the resulting frequency to
always measure above the target frequency, instead of trying to get as
close as possible. This change will result in a closer frequency
match, but may sometimes be below the target frequency.

Fix up LED colors for each product.
Different products assign different color LEDs to the two available
LED drivers (P1_0, P1_1). Make the LED color pin assignments
per-product (in ao_pins.h), then deal with not always having a green LED.

Eliminate deadlock when writing config from radio link
Writing the 'Saved\r\n' string would fill the packet buffer and cause
a flush to occur, which would need to wait for the radio link to
receive and transmit a packet. The radio link always re-fetches the
radio channel number when lighting up the radio, so it need to look in
the config space. If the config mutex was held by the config writing
process while the radio was trying to get the channel number, then
we'd get a deadlock.

Allow product names to have suffixes (like board revisions)
When looking for a board by product name, just look at the prefix of
the name instead of requiring an exact match. This will allow products
to have board version suffixes.

Log GPS data on pad after boost detect.
This wakes up the two GPS reporting tasks and gets them to report out
any existing GPS data to the log file. To make sure the timestamps in
that GPS data are accurate, this also records GPS time on receipt of
the GPS data instead of when that is logged.

Force idle mode by shorting the SPI clock to ground at boot time.

Remove dbg driver code from telemetrum/teledongle

Use ao_radio_get/ao_radio_put in packet code.
The ao_radio_get function both acquires the mutex *and* configures the

Automatically extract flight number for eeprom and telem filenames.
Extract flight number from either telemetry or eeprom files and use
