Subject: [PATCH] v1.6.3: Fix LXMF wire format, add link-based delivery

Fix opportunistic LXMF wire format to match Python reference
(strip dest_hash from payload, carried by RNS packet header).
Compute messageId in packFull() matching Python LXMessage.pack().
Prepend dest_hash in onPacketReceived() for correct unpack.
Add opportunistic-first delivery with background link establishment.
Fix boot crash from RNS::Link default constructor in global scope.
