fix: align Go packet decoder with MeshCore firmware spec

Match the C++ firmware wire format (Packet::writeTo/readFrom):

1. Field order: transport codes are parsed BEFORE path_length byte,
   matching firmware's header → transport_codes → path_len → path → payload

2. ACK payload: just 4-byte CRC checksum, not dest+src+ackHash.
   Firmware createAck() writes only ack_crc (4 bytes).

3. TRACE payload: tag(4) + authCode(4) + flags(1) + pathData,
   matching firmware createTrace() and onRecvPacket() TRACE handler.

4. ADVERT features: parse feat1 (0x20) and feat2 (0x40) optional
   2-byte fields between location and name, matching AdvertDataBuilder
   and AdvertDataParser in the firmware.

5. Transport code naming: code1/code2 instead of nextHop/lastHop,
   matching firmware's transport_codes[0]/transport_codes[1] naming.

Fixes applied to both cmd/ingestor/decoder.go and cmd/server/decoder.go.
Tests updated to match new behavior.
