Add support for pyMC_core with MeshTNC as an alternative to the standard
meshcore package. This enables storing unlimited contacts in the SQLite
database instead of being limited by radio firmware (300 contacts).
New files:
- modules/pymc_connection.py: Wrapper for pyMC_core MeshNode with KISS TNC
- modules/pymc_identity.py: Identity persistence and import/export
Modified files:
- modules/core.py: Add pymc connection type handling
- modules/*.py: Conditional imports for meshcore/pymc compatibility
- requirements.txt: Add pymc-core[radio] as connection backend option
- config.ini.example: Add pymc connection configuration options
To use pyMC connection, set connection_type = pymc in config.ini and
flash a radio with MeshTNC firmware.

- Introduced a QueuedMessage dataclass to manage messages queued for posting to Discord.
- Added a background task to process message queues, handling rate limits and retries.
- Updated message posting methods to support queuing and retry logic, ensuring robust message delivery.
- Implemented proactive rate limiting to prevent exceeding Discord's message limits.
- Added deep copy of event payloads in multiple modules to avoid segmentation faults when events are freed.
- Updated the handling of payloads in ChannelManager, MessageHandler, DiscordBridgeService, MapUploaderService, and PacketCaptureService to ensure safe access to event data.
- Enhanced logging for cases where payloads are missing, improving error handling and debugging capabilities.
- Introduced a new section in `config.ini.example` for the Discord bridge service, including options for enabling the service and configuring avatar styles and channel mappings.
- Updated `README.md` to document the new Discord bridge service and its integration, enhancing the overall service plugin section with relevant details.
