chore: repoint remaining links at git.swaits.com

Rewrites lingering github.com / *.sr.ht references to this Gitea instance,
translating GitHub and Sourcehut URL shapes to Gitea's (/blob/<ref>/ and
sr.ht /tree/<ref>/item/ -> /src/branch/<ref>/, /tree/<tag> -> /src/tag/<tag>,
/actions/workflows/X -> /actions?workflow=X, /edit/ -> /_edit/).

Left pointing at the old hosts on purpose: pull-request links (PRs were not
migrated), forks that were never migrated, and GitHub-only surfaces Gitea
lacks. OpenPGP identity proofs are untouched by design.

MeshCore Protocol Specification

Section 13: Payload — Raw Custom

Overview

The RAW_CUSTOM payload carries application-defined raw bytes with no prescribed structure. It is intended for applications that implement their own encryption, framing, or payload formats on top of the MeshCore transport.

Payload Type

Header payload type field: 0x0F (RAW_CUSTOM)

Wire Format

 0
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|     Raw Data (1-184 bytes)    |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Fields

Field	Offset	Size	Type	Description
data	0	1-184 bytes	raw	Application-defined payload

Routing

In the current reference implementation, RAW_CUSTOM packets are only processed when received via direct routing. They are NOT flood-routed.

Constraints

Payload MUST be at least 1 byte.
Maximum payload: 184 bytes (MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD).
Maximum total data: limited by sizeof(Packet::payload) which is MAX_PACKET_PAYLOAD (184).

Cross-References

Test vectors: corpus/payloads/raw-custom/

Reference Implementation

Mesh::createRawData() in src/Mesh.cpp — Encoding
Mesh::onRecvPacket(), case PAYLOAD_TYPE_RAW_CUSTOM — Processing (direct only)
