* feat: implement router hop preservation for router-to-router communication
- Preserve hop_limit when both local device and previous relay are routers/CLIENT_BASE
- Only preserve hops for favorite routers to prevent abuse
- Apply to both FloodingRouter and NextHopRouter
- Update hop counting logic in MeshService for router-to-router communication
This allows routers to communicate over longer distances without
consuming hop limits, improving mesh network efficiency for
infrastructure nodes.
* chore: update protobufs submodule to latest
* Optimized to check friend list first before nodedb.
* Reverting unintended changes
* revert: remove protobufs submodule update
This reverts the protobufs submodule back to a84657c22 to remove
unintended changes from this branch.
* Slight rewrite to remove flawed NO_RELAY_NODE logic and added logic to add isFirstHop. If isFirstHop, always decrease hop_limit to avoid retry logic.
* DRY code. Remove NodeInfo logic that was left over.
* Trunk formatting
