Add capability bits to announce TLV (#1375)

Announces now carry an optional capabilities TLV (0x05): a little-endian
bitfield with named bits for upcoming features (prekeys, wifiBulk,
gateway, groups, board, vouch, meshDiagnostics). Old clients skip the
unknown TLV; peers without it decode as nil so features can distinguish
"legacy peer" from "advertises nothing".

PeerCapabilities lives in BitFoundation with a minimal-length encoding
that preserves unknown bits for forward compatibility. Peer capabilities
are stored in the BLE peer registry on verified announce and exposed via
BLEService.peerCapabilities(_:). The local advertisement set is empty
until each feature ships its bit.
