Add Transmit history persistence for respecting traffic intervals between reboots (#9748)

* Add transmit history for throttling that persists between reboots

* Fix RAK long press detection to prevent phantom shutdowns from floating pins

* Update test/test_transmit_history/test_main.cpp

* Test fixes and placeholder for content handler tests
