Feature/fragmentation fixes (#453)

* Fix fragmentation + BLE long-write + padding

- Accumulate CBATTRequest long writes by offset and decode once per central
- Decode original packet after fragment reassembly (preserve flags/compression)
- Switch MessagePadding to strict PKCS#7 and validate before unpadding
- Make BinaryProtocol.decode robust: try raw first, then unpad fallback
- Unpad frames before BLE notify; fragment when exceeding centrals' max update length
- Skip notify path when max update length < 21 bytes (protocol minimum)

Verified large PMs and announces route without decode errors and peers show reliably.

* Tests: fix weak delegate lifetime, legacy constants, and unused vars; fragment unpadded frames

- BLEServiceTests: hold strong reference to MockBitchatDelegate
- IntegrationTests: fix inline comment braces; replace removed types with test-safe values; use numeric 0x06 for legacy handshake resp checks
- BinaryProtocolTests: remove unused minResult variable
- BLEService: fragment the unpadded frame so fragments are efficient

* tests: add Noise rehandshake recovery test; document in-memory test bus and autoFlood; stabilize large-network broadcast

* tests: align suite with current behavior (compression, padding, routing, nonce); deflake and stabilize
