swaitsandClaude Opus 4.7 3a8918fb0e spec(multipart): document plain-ACK finalizer after MULTIPART chain
Clarify that the MULTIPART ACK chain terminates with a plain
PAYLOAD_TYPE_ACK (not a MULTIPART with remaining=0). For K extra
copies, the wire sequence is:

  MULTIPART(remaining=K), MULTIPART(remaining=K-1), ...,
  MULTIPART(remaining=1), then PAYLOAD_TYPE_ACK (plain).

All copies share the same ack_crc. Receivers MUST dedup at the
application layer by ack_crc, since each packet's hash differs.

Validated against upstream meshcore-dev/MeshCore @ 1a7b361
(Mesh::routeDirectRecvAcks, src/Mesh.cpp:362 — while-loop emits
MULTIPART(remaining=extra...1), then createAck(crc) plain ACK).
