Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5 2475cba5e7 store: do not offer an app the board cannot run
beta_69 published Wardrive and Nearby. Both need the extended SDK, and the
Heltec V4 does not have it, so the most common board in the mesh showed a
prominent Get button for two apps that download, install, open, and then refuse
to do anything. matthewjk reported exactly that on Discord and had to be told it
was a hardware limit.

An app can now declare `"requires"` in the catalog. The Store greys the button,
labels it N/A and says so on the row, rather than letting someone spend a slow
download to find out. Wardrive and Nearby declare sdk_ext.

An unknown requirement allows the install: a newer catalog must not disable apps
on firmware that has never heard of the capability name, which would be exactly
the wrong way round.
